Manage a Meeting

  1. You can see who the active speaker is even in tile view by the blue outline around their video or icon.
    1. You can view if a user is sending audio, and the level of that audio, by the blue dots appearing on the side of their video or icon.
    2. You can see if the user is muted or has video turned off by the icons on the bottom left of video or icon.
    3. You can hover over the bandwidth icon in the top left of their video or icon to get more details on their current connection to the server. If a user is experiencing issues and their icon shows yellow or red, poor network connection may be to blame.
  2. Most meeting management (such as muting all participants) is done by clicking the 3 vertical dots menu option in the bottom right corner of the meeting.
    1. Manage video quality will set the maximum resolution for videos you see, decreasing bandwidth needs.
    2. View full screen allows you to hide the browser window and maximize the screen
    3. Share a YouTube video allows you to paste a video link to share directly.
    4. Sharing video will mute your audio, and unmuting your audio will mute the video.
    5. Blur my background allows you to blur the background of your camera. This increases your computer’s CPU usage, but reduces your bandwidth usage.
    6. Settings will access advanced settings such as choosing Microphone and Camera, or setting your name and login info.

    8. View shortcuts lets you view a list of keyboard shortcuts for quickly accessing features.
  3. You can manage an individual user by clicking the 3 vertical dots on their video or icon. This can be done in both Tile View and Active Speaker list-style view.
    1. Mute will mute that individual user. Note that mute does not work for dial-in users, and participants may unmute themselves.
    2. Mute everyone else will set all others to mute, easily allowing the user to become the active speaker.
    3. Kick out will remove the participant from the conference.
    4. Send private message allows you to send a private chat message to the user.
  4. You can access chat features by clicking the chat icon near the bottom left corner.
    1. Everyone can see chat messages by default.
    2. A private message will appear in red with the other user’s name.
    3. A red bar will appear across your chat screen indicating the message is private.
    4. Press the x on the red bar to return to public messages.
  5. A participant may raise their hand by clicking the hand icon near the bottom left.
    1. This will display a blue hand icon on their video or icon to indicate they would like to comment.
