1. Must have a camera plugged in (or embedded camera) to use GT Booth

2. If only one camera is available, enter GT booth first and select camera to turn it on, before you enter Zoom or any other meeting platforms (with camera turned off). If you choose to enter the meeting platform first, remember to never turn on the camera.

3. When joining a meeting, please select Devices and test diligently every time before “Confirm” to join the meeting.

4. When choosing audio output or microphone on GT Booth, please always select the non-default and non-communication device (a device name with no “default -“ or “communications-“ in front of it).

5. Click on “headset” to try hearing the sound, and click on “record” (then say something”) then click “stop” and click “playback” to hear your microphone recordings.

6. If your headset boom mic has an inline on/off button, please check if it is synchronised with the Zoom Microphone “mute” button. If yes, you can go to “Audio Settings” in Zoom and untick “Sync buttons on headset”.
