+====Video====

 You might have to open sound settings and confirm microphones work at all. If no microphones pick up at all, that means there's a physical problem with a mic.
+Ensure that Apps are allowed to use the audio device under windows System>Sound>Advanced>All sound devices> Input devices
+If all else fails, whip out an attendee's device, log them into the call and use that for audio.
 ====The room can not hear participants====
 Confirm the speakers work as expected and are selected as output device for the call.
+Turn the receiver under the PC off and on again.
 ====I don't have an @protospace.ca account====
 Contact a director at [mailto:Directors@protospace.ca directors@protospace.ca] or use a personal Google/Zoom/etc account, maybe in an Incognito window.
