  1. Open Google Chrome on your device
  2. Navigate to the website and join the event.

Mozilla Firefox

  1. Launch Mozilla Firefox on your computer.
  2. Go to the event's webpage and join the event.
  3. Look for the camera icon in the address bar and click on it.
  4. A permission prompt will appear. Select "Allow" to grant access to your camera and microphone.
  5. If the event page doesn't load correctly, you might need to refresh it to activate the camera and microphone settings.

Microsoft Edge

  1. Open Microsoft Edge on your system.
  2. Visit the website or platform where the event is taking place.
  3. Locate the camera icon in the address bar and click it.
  4. A permission dialogue box will emerge. Click "Allow" to provide the necessary camera and microphone permissions.
  5. Refresh the event page if needed, and you should be all set to use your camera and microphone.

Apple Safari

  1. Launch Apple Safari on your device.
  2. Navigate to the event's website and hit the Join button.
  3. Look for the Camera icon located in the address bar and click on it.
  4. A permission prompt will show up. Select Allow to grant access for your camera and microphone usage.

Remember that granting camera and microphone permissions is essential for a seamless and interactive presenter experience. Additionally, ensure that your device's camera and microphone are functioning correctly to avoid technical glitches during the event.

Without the required device permission or having a camera or microphone device available, you can join. You will receive an error message, but you should ignore the error message. Nevertheless, you will be unable to participate as a presenter during the event.

Setup you call devices and name

  1. Set your name. This is the name you'll have in the Participant tab and in the chat.

  2. Select your microphone, speaker, and camera device to use. The selected microphone and speaker can be tested by selecting the options "Test microphone" and "Play test audio," respectively.

  3. Test your connection (check Help menu section below)
  4. You can choose to start with your microphone or camera enabled.
    Don't worry, after you click join and if the event is configured that way, you'll be asked to allow presenter mode or not.
  5. Select the Effects (virtual background) to use at start. You can then change this inside the virtual event.

  6. Select Join event.
