Audio issues
SOUND ISSUES: I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING
If you can still see the holding screen saying ‘Starting Soon’ the webinar has not begun and there will be no sound. Please note: the event might start a couple of minutes late to allow everyone to join. Please hold tight until you can see a person speaking.
Once a person is on screen the audio should begin. If you are connected but can’t hear anything it will most likely be a setting with your computer. Please check:
