Click on the green button. From the dropdown menu you can choose if you prefer to use only your web browser or you prefer to install your desktop app The app is compulsory from mobile devices. From a PC with a browser up to date you can attend or host a meeting without additional software. Just remember to allow your browser to access webcam and microphone. If something fails, use the app.
If you plan to have a lecture with many guests, we recommend to enable the option “Mute on entry” to avoid background noise… It's in the participant menu in the app. Inform your guest that they have to unmute manually to speak. The host can mute or unmute guests microphones.
When you have started the meeting you can share the link of your personal so anybody can connect. It is required to insert a name and a valid email just for reference in the conference.
You can share also your screen, your users will see your screen AND your webcam.
