Leading your Video Call

Get ready before the call

Technology

  1. Shut down any apps or sites that may also use your camera or mic

  2. (If allowed) Connect your headphones with a mic

  3. If you have time, run through the setup steps detailed here

  4. If you don't, at the very least take these steps:

    1. Open your Sound settings to see if the mic is getting sound

      1. On a Mac, you should see blue bars moving

    2. Open your browser settings to see if you have allowed the platform to use mic. For example, meet.jit.si should be listed as Allowed.

  5. Quit your browser completely and then restart it

    1. On a Mac, use Cmd + Q or Quit from the app menu to quit completely

Environment

Try to find a quieter place with fewer people on the wifi.

Preparation

  1. Make sure you have the most updated location of the call. It will either be a link or a phone number.

  2. Review your agenda once more and how much time you plan to spend on each item.
