Change your device settings

If you need to, you can select a different camera, speaker, or microphone during your call.

For macOS and Windows computers, follow these steps:

  1. On the call screen, click Settings button Settings.

  2. Select the device you want to use from the drop-down menu. The call screen switches to the new device.

    If you're using Apple Safari, change the speaker in the system Settings app.

  3. Click Close button Close to close the panel.

For tablets and mobile phones, follow these steps to change the camera:

  1. On the call screen, tap Switch-camera button Change camera.
    Your camera changes between the front-facing and rear-facing cameras

 

Connecting to devices is normally quick, but may take up to 20 seconds. However, you continue to hear all other participants without interruption. In this time, other participants' see you with both paused video and muted audio indicators. This is to let other participants know that you can still hear and see them.
