While You’re Waiting for the Meeting to Begin
You’ll be presented with a screen that says, "Waiting for the host to start this meeting," if the host hasn’t started the meeting at the time you join. We recommend that you check your audio settings while waiting for the meeting to start. Furthermore, we recommend that laptop users participate with a headset to avoid audio feedback.
Join By Computer Audio
Once you join the meeting you will be asked whether you want to join using your computer audio or join by using your phone.
If you’re using your computer microphone you MUST click the button to join audio by computer. No one on the call will be able to hear you until you click this button.
If for some reason you do not see this window pop up, look for the small green arrow on the bottom left in the tool bar asking you to "Join Audio".
If your computer does not have a microphone you can join by phone using one of the toll numbers given to you in the invite.
PLEASE NOTE: Once you make your audio selection, you cannot change during your meeting.
Audio Settings
By clicking on the small caret next to the microphone icon, you can choose your microphone and speaker settings. It normally defaults to your built-in microphone and speakers but you can select any other microphone or speakers you have plugged in to your computer.
Video Settings
By clicking on the small caret next to the camera icon, you can choose which video camera you want to use.
Audio and Video Mute and Unmute
During a session you might be asked to mute your microphone until you have a question or comment.
This helps to minimize background noise and audio feedback. Mute your audio by clicking on the microphone icon located in the lower left-hand corner of the menu bar. You can mute your video by clicking on camera icon as well.
