Quick Tips
Test before important meetings: Join a few minutes early to test your audio and video.
Mute when not speaking: Reduces background noise for everyone.
Use raise hand: More orderly than unmuting and speaking over others.
Check your background: Make sure what's behind you is appropriate before turning on your camera.
