  3. From the Select Audio Output Device dialog, choose the device that will play the session audio e.g. speakers

  4. Click OK

  5. Click the Play button and adjust the volume slider so that you can clearly hear the pre-recorded message
  6. Click Stop and then Yes to confirm you were able to hear the audio. If you were not able to hear the audio, click No and repeat the previous step
  7. Select the device you will use to send your audio during the session e.g. microphone
  8. Click OK

  9. If you are using a headset or microphone just for you, select Single Talker. If you are using a single microphone to pick up multiple talkers in the same physical space, select Multiple Talkers
