5 Fine Tuning your Speaker Settings When using your computer to connect to the meeting audio, you can fine-tune your speaker settings to optimize your audio experience. The Speaker/Microphone Audio Test walks you through testing your devices, and setting your speaker volume. When you first start or join a meeting, you can manually test and adjust your sound device before you actually start using your computer for audio. To open the Speaker/Microphone Audio Test and adjust your sound settings, follow the steps found below. 1. From the meeting window toolbar, select the Communicate tab. 2. Select the Speaker/Microphone Audio Test option. 3. Follow the instructions. Providing the Best Experience for your Class Streaming the WebEx session from your laptop does not provide the most optimal experience for a large group. If you have a projector available, it would be ideal to use a VGA adapter that is compatible with your screen, allowing the video stream to be enlarged. If audio is not included with your projector, you would need external speakers that can hookup to your PC, which will provide higher quality audio than your PC speakers.
