You can enable the microphone or microphone and webcam only when you are provided by a host/presenter.
Enabling the Devices
- Only the default devices will be enabled. You must have configured the devices in your operating system settings
- The web browser will ask for your permissions - set the permissions appropriately
- Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2693767?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop
- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-manage-your-camera-and-microphone-permissions#w_use-prompts-to-allow-or-block-camera-and-microphone-permissions-for-a-site
- Safari (MacOS): https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchlf6d108da/mac
- If you wish to enable the microphone only, click on the microphone
- If you wish to enable the webcam later, you can click on the webcam.
Turning the Devices Off (Revoking)
Turning the devices off is not necessary, as the host can take the permission away or reassign it to another attendee, which in turn shuts your devices off
- If you enable only the mic, click on the mic button again. This takes away the podium from you
- If you enable the webcam, clicking the webcam stops the webcam, but the mic stays on. You have to click the mic and turn it off. This gives the permissions back
- If you reload while the mic or both devices are enabled, you will lose the permissions (if reload takes more than 5 seconds)
- If you disconnect/leave the room, the permission is revoked.
