Functions in the video

By moving the cursors, the video meeting menu appears at the bottom. Below we show you the most important options:

1. Screen sharing

If necessary, you can also share the screen in the video meeting.

2. Raise your hand / give a hand signal

If necessary, you can also raise your hand in the video meeting to draw attention to yourself.

3. Click on the speech bubble icon to open the chat.

4. By clicking on the microphone, you mute yourself and you could also turn off the camera.

Testing the Microphone and Speaker

1. Click on the microphone icon (bottom centre).

2. Now you can select the desired microphone if several options are available. Your selection is indicated by the green checkbox.

If the green bars behind the microphone move when you speak into the microphone, it is working properly.

3. You can also select the sound output device, the loudspeaker, if several options are available. Your selection is indicated by the green checkbox.

If you hear a sound when you click on the Test button behind the loudspeaker, your loudspeaker is working properly.
