If you experience difficulty with audio using your computer speakers, click on the tab “Communicate”
at the top and then choose “Speaker/Microphone Audio Test” from the drop down menu. Test your
speaker – your microphone will not work as we have muted all participants so that background noise
will not be an issue. To use your telephone for audio, click on the “Event Info” tab to access
the phone numbers, access code, and your attendee ID # (which is unique to you).
