Best practices for navigating sessions hosted with Canapii.
 | Meryl G Last updated January 13 2022 |
Joining the meeting
If your event organizer is hosting a session on Canapii, you'll see a join call button once you have selected the session from the homepage or if you have been pushed into a breakout room that is using Canapii.
Once you select join call, you'll be asked to choose your preferred camera, microphone, and audio settings. Click ok to continue once you've done this.
By default, if you are not the host of the session you will be muted upon joining the meeting.
Meeting controls
Depending on your meeting permissions, all of your meeting controls will be located along the bottom of the meeting window:
- Participants - This will open up a panel on the left side of the meeting that will show you all participants, hosts will have additional controls in this panel (mute all, toggling on/off camera and mic of other users).
