Overview

Now that you’ve successfully signed in to TODA Live and joined your first room, let's take a moment to familiarize ourselves with the various in-room settings that are available. We hope you find a variety of options that can enhance your overall meeting experience. Happy exploring!

Audio Settings

For optimal audio quality during your call, you may adjust your audio input and output settings in the TODA Live Lobby before joining the meeting room. However, if you didn't have a chance to do so, don't worry! Upon joining a room your microphone and sound will be turned on by default, but here we’ll guide you on ways to modify your audio settings within the meeting room.

NOTE: Adjusting this setting will not disrupt the audio for other attendees.

Sound

With our Sound control feature, you can easily turn on or off the sound coming from other attendees within the room. To adjust the sound settings, follow these simple steps:

1. Locate the Sound icon at the bottom-left of your room.

2. Click the Sound icon to temporarily disable the audio coming from other attendees. To resume listening, click the icon again.

TODA TIP: Press the “S” key on your keyboard to enable 
or disable audio coming from other attendees.

Audio Output

By default, the audio during your session will come through your device’s speakers. If you wish to change the output of your audio, you have several options – for example: headphones or external speakers.

Option 1

1. Click the settings icon, located at the bottom left-hand side of your room, and to the right of the Sound icon. You will be presented with the available audio output options, directly above the Sound icon.

2. Select the connected audio output device you would like to use to listen to the meeting room audio. Once you have selected your preferred audio output, the speaker settings will automatically be updated.

NOTE: The desired speaker will likely be named after the maker of the device. 
For example, if you are using a MacBook laptop, one of the options may be “MacBook {model name} Speakers”

Option 2

Click the Menu icon, located on the bottom right-hand side of your room. You will be presented with option(s) to choose from, directly above the Menu icon.
Select the Settings option.

From there, navigate to the AV Settings tab. This will give you access to further adjust your device’s audio and video settings.
From the Audio Output dropdown, select your preferred device to listen to the meeting room audio.
Click any space surrounding the dialog box to exit.

That’s it, you can now turn on or off the Room audio according to your needs!
