- From within an active session, select
in the top toolbar. - From Audio settings, change the following as desired:
- Select your audio method.
- Select your microphone and speaker device (if Computer audio is selected and multiple options are available).
- Determine if you want to keep the Automatically adjust microphone volume enabled or not.
Note: This setting adjusts your microphone volume so you can be heard at the right volume to other attendees. It considers your audio device’s volume level and your volume of speech and adjusts your microphone setup accordingly. Keeping this setting enabled ensures optimal voice balance and quality when you speak, regardless of the headset you use. You can disable the setting if one or more of the following scenarios applies:
- You'd like to have full control of your speech level within the conference
- Your in-built device/ headset volume level regulation conflicts with the regulation offered by this setting
- Your device behaves in an unexpected manner when this setting is enabled (for example, auto-mutes itself unexpectedly)
- From Camera settings, change the following as desired:
- Select your desired camera if multiple options are available.
- Zoom your camera in and out.
- Enable/disable Mirror my video.
- Enable/disable virtual background.
- From Session settings, change the following as desired:
- Select your display language.
- Enable/disable Show who's talking — When enabled, the active speakers name are displayed.

- Enable/disable Allow sound effects for reactions — When enabled, attendees can send sounds along with their reactions.
Note: This setting is only available for the starting organizer and is disabled by default. Once enabled, however, it will persist for all webinars started by that same organizer on the same device until the browser cache is cleared (in which case, it will return to the default state). Before it becomes available for an organizer to enable on a per session basis, the account admin has to enable audio reactions in their settings.
- Enable/disable Automatically record on start — When enabled, this prompts recording after organizers start the broadcast.
- Enable/disable Notify me when attendee joins/leaves — When enabled, a chime will play along with a notification every time someone joins or leaves a session. This is disabled by default for webinars.
