When In A Meeting
When you first join a meeting, there may be a pop up asking about your computer audio/video preferences
Typically, the "Join with Computer Audio" will be a green button. Click on that button to join with your computer's built in microphone and speakers
If your computer does not have a built in microphone and/or speaker (like in the picture on the right), you will need plug in a microphone and/or speaker source
In the bottom left corner, you will see two options: "Join Audio" and "Start Video"
You can mute/activate your audio or hide your camera with these two buttons. If you accidentally checked the "Don't connect to audio" or "Turn off my video" buttons, this is how to fix that.
