How to turn on/off microphone and camera in Video Conference?

When you enter Video Conference for the first time you will be prompted by web browser to allow access for you webcam and microphone. You can set your preferences there - which to allow/disallow and which device to use. You can go back to those settings at any time.

Once you are in Video Conference you will have options to switch on/off your microphone and camera or select the one you want to use for the conference.

You can do this by opening the kebab or three dots menu in the bottom right of the page and then opening the Settings.

Under the "Devices" tab, select your camera, microphone and audio output.

Confirm and save with "OK" button.

Tip for users with low Internet connections:

It is wise to turn off camera as it will improve video call quality. If you still can't see / hear your participants, look in the "More" tab in Settings to see if you may have below marked options selected.

We recommend to stop archiving after 90 minutes and start a new recording by clicking same button (to have the file upload faster and better, since the longer you record the greater the file size and slower time to upload in deal).

You will end up with 2 files then. The recommended number of recorded participants is 5-6, but you can record up to 7-9.
