Basic Participant Management Controls

• Invite participant: Click Invite to invite participants during the meeting. A pop-up window will open prompting you to enter the email address of the attendants you are inviting. You can also click Copy Invite Link from the Invite pop-up window and easily paste that in an email or messenger.
  
• Mute/Unmute: Click Mute All to mute all meeting participants. When you click this button, you will have the option to allow participants to unmute themselves or not.
  
• Nonverbal Feedback: Participants can click raise hand, yes, no, go slower, or go faster, to give non-verbal meeting feedback. Under the More icon, they also have the option to give a thumbs up or down, clapping symbol, or indicate they have stepped away. When a participant clicks on one of these icons, it will appear next to their name in the participant list, and also bring their name to the top of the list. A host or co-host can click clear all to remove this feedback from the participant list.
  
• Advanced Settings: Click on the More button to access advanced controls for managing participants. From this menu, you can give participants control of muting and unmuting themselves, enable a waiting room, lock the meeting, and play sound when someone joins or leaves the meeting.
