Entering Greenroom
Once you've created an account, you'll be taken through a series of steps to prepare you for entry into the Greenroom.
1. First, you'll confirm your information is correct as it may appear in your title on-screen. You can also optionally upload an avatar image by clicking the small camera icon located next to your initials:
When complete, click "Next".
Note: You may be prompted by a browser pop-up asking for access to the camera and microphone of your computer. You'll want to click "yes" to allow this access.'
2. After granting your browser access to your camera and mic, you'll be prompted to configure your audio and video settings.
The default microphone and camera sources will appear. For each, there is a dropdown to browse and select alternative microphone and camera sources.
Note: If you're on a Mac, you may need to go into your computer settings to enable microphone access.
After making your camera and microphone selections, you'll want to test each one.
- First, say something like "Testing 1, 2, 3" and watch the three green dots next to the microphone icon. The dots will move when speaking, reflecting a proper audio connection.
- Then, test your speakers by clicking on the word "Test" next to the speaker icon. A short audio clip will play to confirm your audio output settings are correct.
- Lastly, you should see your camera feed on the left side of the page. If not, make sure you have the appropriate camera selected in the dropdown menu under “Camera" and that the camera is enabled. Use the toggle below your video to turn your camera and microphone on and off.
