How do I enable audio?

Join Voip SessionAfter logging in a pop-up window asking you to Join Integrated VoIP' will appear, you must click 'Yes' to enable audio.

An Audio broadcast pop-up window will also appear with volume and mute controls. This window must remain open to hear the audio broadcast during the training webclass.


Quick Tip

Usually, the cause of a fair or poor VoIP connection is a lack of capacity, or "bandwidth", available for sending voice information over your network or the Internet.  To improve your VoIP connection, you can try the following:

  • If you are sharing software, pause or stop sharing.
  • If you are sending video, close the video panel. 
  • Close any other applications on your computer that might be using bandwidth for your Internet connection.
  • Avoid downloading files on your network or from the Internet while using Integrated VoIP.
  • Avoid browsing the Web while using Integrated VoIP.
