Turning sound and video off and on

Your own microphone or camera

As a participant, you turn your own microphone and camera on and off by clicking on the icons at the bottom left of the Zoom window.

Controlling microphone or camera for other participants

If you are the host or co-host of a meeting, you can also check if the participants have a microphone and camera on. To do this from the list of participants:

• Move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the Zoom window and click on Participants.
• When you click a name in the participant list, you can mute or unmute the microphone by selecting Mute or Unmute. To check if the camera is on or off for a particular participant, hover over the participant's name, click More, and select Stop Video or Start Video. Before you turn on a video for a participant, you should say so or ask if it's okay.
