What happens after I start or join the webinar?

    You are prompted to choose your audio mode before being connected to the webinar. Additionally, you can test your mic and speakers from this screen.

    If you are an attendee joining a webinar, you do not need your own GoTo Webinar account and do not need to sign in.
