Video Call Basics
This guide walks you through joining meetings, checking your audio, finding the mute and camera buttons, and avoiding suspicious meeting links.
Preview checklist
- Confirm the meeting invite came from someone you know.
- Test audio before the call.
- Know where mute and camera buttons are.
- Avoid downloading unknown meeting tools from random links.
Safer move: Before joining any video call, confirm with the person who invited you — using a phone number or email you already have for them — that the meeting is real. If you're asked to download a brand-new app just to join, treat that as a warning sign and check with someone you trust first.
