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

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

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

Participants List

• Click the Participants icon to open the participants panel
• View all current participants (up to 8 participants per meeting)
• See who has joined, who is muted, and who is sharing
• Hosts have additional controls described below

Host Controls

The meeting host (the person who created or started the meeting) has additional powers:

Host controls appear in the participants list next to each participant's name.

Waiting Room

When enabled, participants who join the meeting are placed in a waiting room instead of entering immediately. The host sees a notification for each waiting participant and can:

• Admit — Let the participant into the meeting
• Admit All — Let all waiting participants in at once
• Reject — Deny entry

The waiting room provides an extra layer of security for sensitive meetings, preventing unauthorized participants from joining.

Participant Limit

CrystalQore meetings support up to 8 concurrent participants per room. If the room is full, additional participants are placed in the waiting room (if enabled) or see a "meeting is full" message.

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
