Meeting Controls

Keep in mind that everyone in the meeting can see all the instant messages. If you want to send someone a private message, click the people icon, right-click a name, and select the IM option.
• The audio icon allows you to mute or unmute your voice. If there is a red slash across the icon, it means you are currently muted. Select the icon again to unmute.
• The webcam icon allows you to turn your web cam (if you have one) on and off.
• The present icon enables you to choose what and how you present if you have been given privileges as a Presenter. For example, you could share your desktop or present a PowerPoint, or go to the whiteboard to present something.
• The Participants icon enables you to turn the window with the list of participants on and off.

You should be able to record the presentation to your local computer, but remind the presenter to record and post the recording of the meeting.
