Set your Webex Meetings audio and video preferences

There are options for selecting an audio connection type, changing your phone number, setting up Personal Conferencing, setting your entry and exit tone, and setting up your video system.

• The Audio and Video tab can be found under Preferences in the left navigation bar.
• Depending on the type of audio connection you use, edit the settings.
• A global call-in number or a toll-free number can be displayed to attendees.
• When you select Entry and exit tone on the audio portion of the meeting, you will be able to choose the tone you want to hear when someone is entering or exiting the meeting. Choosing No Tone will enable you to turn off the beeps and the announcement of your name.

As a result of the Announce Name feature being selected in the Webex App Audio option, users joining using the Use computer for audio option do not have the option to record and announce their names for the meeting.
