There are additional meeting options:

• If you want to "Prevent echo when there's already an active mic and speaker in the room", Click "Audio off"

• If you don't want to use your computer microphone and want to call in the conference line using your phone you can click "Phone audio".

• On the rare occasion you are in a meeting room fully equipped with sound and video system
