FAQ

Can my guests have avatars?


Yes, each participant can change their avatar. They just need to click the three dots next to their name and select Change avatar.

Why isn't my avatar showing up even though my camera is off?


Your avatar will only display if the "Show non-video participants" setting is enabled in your Settings.

How many avatars can I have?

You can upload a maximum of 4 avatars. Hover over any avatars you no longer need and click the X icon. This will remove them and empty up space for new ones.

Can an audio-only participant speak without their image appearing at all?

Yes. Avatars will only display if the "Show non-video participants" setting is enabled in your Settings. If you want audio-only participants to be completely hidden, disable this option in your settings. Once that is done, there will be no visible input on-screen but their audio will still be heard.
