Meeting Controls
During a CrystalQore meeting, you have a set of controls at the bottom of the screen (or in a control bar) to manage your audio, video, screen sharing, and participation.
Control Overview
| Control | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone | Toggle mute/unmute | Turn your microphone on or off |
| Camera | Toggle camera on/off | Show or hide your video |
| Screen share | Start/stop sharing | Share your screen with participants |
| Participants | Open participants list | View who's in the meeting |
| Leave | Exit the meeting | Leave the meeting room |
Microphone (Mute/Unmute)
- Click the microphone icon to mute or unmute yourself
- When muted: your icon shows a line through it; participants cannot hear you
- When unmuted: your audio is broadcast to all participants
- Use mute when you're not speaking to reduce background noise
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+M or Cmd+M (Mac) toggles mute in many configurations.
Camera (On/Off)
- Click the camera icon to turn your video on or off
- When off: your tile shows a placeholder (avatar or "Camera off") instead of live video
- When on: your camera feed is visible to all participants
- Turning the camera off conserves bandwidth and can improve connection quality
Screen Share
- Click Share screen (or the screen share icon) to share your display
- Select which screen or window to share (browser may prompt for selection)
- Your screen replaces or appears alongside your video for other participants
- Click Stop sharing to end screen share and return to normal video
Only one participant can share a screen at a time. If someone else is sharing, you may need to wait for them to stop before you can share.
Participants List
- Click the Participants icon to open the participants panel
- View all current participants
- See who has joined, who is muted, and who is sharing
- Hosts may have additional options (e.g., remove participant, mute all) depending on configuration
Connection Quality
During the meeting, a connection quality indicator may be displayed:
- Good — Green or solid: connection is stable
- Degraded — Yellow or warning: some packet loss or latency
- Poor — Red or error: significant issues; consider turning off video or moving closer to the router
If quality is poor, try:
- Turning off your camera to reduce bandwidth
- Closing other apps or browser tabs
- Connecting via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi
- Moving to a location with stronger signal
Meeting Duration Timer
A meeting duration timer is often shown (e.g., in the corner or control bar) so you can track how long the meeting has been running.
Leaving the Meeting
- Click Leave (or the leave/end call button) to exit the meeting
- You will be removed from the room; the meeting continues for other participants
- If you're the last person to leave, the meeting typically ends and the room is closed
