Set up your audio

When you first join the meeting, you are prompted to choose which audio method and camera you'd like to use and how you'll appear in the session upon launch.
Once you select your audio mode, choose your camera preferences. When you're ready, select Join.

Mute and unmute

Control your audio using the Mic icon in the primary toolbar. The icon glows white when you are unmuted and others can hear you.

You can also switch between computer and phone audio by selecting Settings icon > Audio.
Note: You're muted by default when you first join unless you choose otherwise in the Camera preview screen. If you're muted, select the Mic icon to umute yourself.

Share your camera

You can start and stop sharing your camera using the Camera icon in the primary toolbar.

If you want to preview your camera first, select Settings icon > Camera. A preview of your camera feed appears.

How do I rearrange camera feeds?

When multiple attendees are sharing their cameras, you can choose to see only the presenter's camera, the camera of person currently speaking, or no camera at all.

How do I select a different camera if I have more than one plugged in?

If you have more than one camera device plugged in to your computer, you can select which device to use during the session.

Share your screen

If the meeting organizer grants you presenter permissions, then you can share your screen or even a specific application with the other attendees in the meeting.
Use the Share icon in the primary toolbar to start and stop sharing your screen once you have presenter controls.
