You will be asked to confirm this action (if not done during the Audio Setup Wizard) and a preview video will be enabled to adjust the image preferences. Once the video is ready, you just need to click on _Start Sharing_ to share it with the other participants.

The video screen will show the video recorded by your camera as well as the video from the other participants (once they have activated their webcams).

To talk to the other participants you need first to enable your microphone. Click on the microphone icon on the top of the window to activate it and the icon will turn into green, just as the camera did in the step before.

If the microphone works properly, the microphone icon on the top bar will start displaying waves. Another microphone icon will appear next to our user in the presenters list.

To activate/deactivate the microphone you just need to click on it and the microphone icon. Notice that the icon will still be green but crossed-out when it is deactivated.

Next to the microphone icon there is a drop down menu to adjust some of its features. You can monitor the sound level in _Adjust Microphone Volume…_ to rise or limit the volume. If no audio bar is displayed, check that your microphone has been selected and that it works properly.

The host of the meeting manages the privileges of the room during the meeting. To ask for permission to take the floor, you can click the human icon with the hand raised displayed on the top bar. The drop-down menu next to this icon allows you to change your _Status_ or show your opinion about the topics that are being discussed.
