Meetings
Check your camera, microphone, and speaker
Test your microphone level and speaker before you join, and switch devices during the call when people can't hear you.
Where to find it
Before joining, or in a call → More → Microphone, speaker and camera
How to do it
Before you join, pick a Microphone and say something. The bars should move.
Choose a Speaker and press Play test sound.
In the call, press the small arrow next to the microphone button to switch microphone or speaker in one click.
For everything at once, open More → Microphone, speaker and camera. Others can't hear you, or you can't hear them? at the bottom lists fixes.
If you see Tap to hear the meeting, tap it. The browser holds back sound until you do.
