Connecting your audio and video is an important first step to using LinguSocial Meetings. Let’s take a look at the different ways you can connect your audio and video, starting with your computer. Connecting to the LinguSocial App with access to video and screen share via a computer requires Google Chrome. If you want to connect with audio and to view screen shares only, you can also use:

Connect your audio & video via your computer

  • Join the meeting via the LinguSocial App
  • Ensure you’ve granted permission for your browser to use your camera and mic (your browser will remember your preference)
  • Verify which camera/speaker/mic you want to use
  • Verify if you want your camera/mic on or off

If you want to join a meeting where you just want to listen or share your screen select no video device when joining a meeting.

Connect a headset

In most cases, you should only need to do the following to connect a headset to your meeting:

  • Connect your headset device to your computer
  • Join the meeting via the LinguSocial App
  • Confirm your preferred headset device from the settings drop-down

Sound quality

Thanks to Chrome’s support of the OPUS audio codec, LinguSocial Meetings offers the best possible sound quality that dynamically adapts to changes in your network strength. The best part is there’s no download required - you’ll automatically experience HD audio as long as you have the latest version of Chrome.
