Initial configuration of Audio and Video Settings
Before you start a meeting by phone, you need to verify your Webex Audio and Video configuration by following the steps below.
1. Go to msstate.webex.com, then sign in with your netid@msstate.edu email address and NetPassword. Authenticate with Duo, if prompted.
2. Click Preferences, then click the Audio and Video tab.
3. Verify the following:
- Make sure Webex Audio is set as the default in the Audio connection type dropdown.
- Enter your phone number in the Work phone number and/or Mobile phone fields. This is the number Webex uses to verify your account when calling in.
- Set your host and audio PINs, as desired, and make a note of them (the host PIN comes set by default; you may use that PIN if you don't want to change it).
