Meeting Controls
The meeting controls are designed around the tasks people do continuously during a call: manage audio and video, open collaboration panels, admit participants, share content, and leave without losing context.

Audio, video, sharing, captions, chat, people, and settings should be reachable without obscuring the conversation.
Primary controls
Section titled “Primary controls”- Audio mutes, unmutes, and opens microphone selection.
- Video starts, stops, and opens camera controls.
- Share starts screen or window sharing.
- Captions exposes live transcript and translation entry points.
- People opens the participant list and waiting room queue.
- Chat opens in-call messaging and link sharing.
- Settings exposes deeper device, language, access, and quality controls.
- Leave exits the call or ends it for everyone when your role allows that action.
Role-aware behavior
Section titled “Role-aware behavior”- Participants see the core controls needed to join, speak, and collaborate.
- Hosts and co-hosts see moderation and access controls in addition to the standard bar.
- Workspace admins still act as meeting participants unless they are also hosts or co-hosts in that session.
Good operating habits
Section titled “Good operating habits”- Open People before a large meeting starts if you expect waiting room traffic.
- Keep Chat or Notes open during information-heavy meetings so links and follow-up are not lost.
- Use Settings for persistent changes and the carets on control buttons for quick device swaps.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”I cannot find the control I need
Section titled “I cannot find the control I need”- Check whether your role in the meeting includes that action.
- Open Settings for deeper options that are not exposed as primary buttons.
- On mobile, look for overflow or panel navigation instead of assuming the control is missing.
