Hardware: You must use a laptop or desktop; right now, you can't use tablets or smartphones
Software: Use the latest versions of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox
Audio: If you're going to talk during the meeting, use a headset, otherwise you can just "listen" and use the chat area to post questions

When you join a meeting:
- Web Browser permission: Meetings may give you a prompt to give your browser permission to get to your meeting.
- Audio Set up: Meetings will allow you to test your audio and choose your microphone (if you have one).

Instructors ( Presenters and Moderators) have the same computer requirements as students, with the following additions if sharing a desktop:
- Network: We recommend that you use a wired (not a wireless) network, for the best results when sharing your desktop/laptop.
- Software: To share your desktop, you must have the latest version of Java installed. If needed: Install Java on your computer.
  - If Java is not working after you install it, you may have to remove old Java versions, activate Java in your web browser or enable the Java Plug-in in your web browser.
    - Here are the step-by-step Java troubleshooting instructions.

Recommended Number of Users per meeting session: 25 or fewer. According to BigBlueButton, you may experience performance problems with more than 25 students in a single session.
