Connect to Audio Using Computer Mic and Speakers

You can connect to the session audio over the internet (VoIP), which allows you to use a microphone and speakers plugged into your computer or mobile device.Audio quality may vary depending on the audio software, hardware, operating system and Internet connection being used. We recommend using a USB headset plugged directly into the computer and placing the microphone away from other speakers or devices to avoid noise feedback.

Connect from the desktop app

  1. Ensure that your mic and speakers are properly plugged in to your computer. We recommend using a USB headset plugged directly into the computer.
  2. Select Computer audio as follows:
    • Before a session launches, select the Computer audio option in the pre-session "Choose audio mode" window and then select OK. In this window, you can select which audio device can be used for microphone and speakers, test your speakers and check volume meters. Please note that attendees will join in listen-only mode.
    • While in session, expand the Audio tab at the top of the Control Panel and select Computer audio.
    Note: If you do not want to see those pre-session "Choose audio mode" windows, you can select the Don't show again box. This will remember your audio option and set it as the default for future sessions.
