• Join webinars
• If you've been invited by a VidyoConnect desktop user to join a webinar as a guest, you can click the guest link on your mobile device to join the webinar with the VidyoConnect mobile app.
• The VidyoConnect desktop user configures which functions are available to you as a mobile app user. They can configure whether you can mute and unmute your camera and mic, if your camera and mic are disabled, and whether you can share content, view the participants list, and chat. Their configuration will determine which buttons are available on your VidyoConnect mobile app toolbar once you join the webinar.
• For example, if the VidyoConnect desktop user configured that you can mute your camera and mic, but that you can't share content, view the participants list, or chat, your toolbar would look like this on your mobile app (notice that the Share, Participant, and Chat icons aren't displayed):
