5.2 Audio On/Off and Mirroring Modes

After joining a meeting, user can enable/ disable audio output on Projection Mode to choose Video Playback (enable output audio) or Presentation (muted, default setting).

Tablet, iPad, Android smartphone or iPhone user: No enable audio option on screen sharing via NovoConnect App because Android or iOS cannot allow any third party App to mirroring audio. However, there is two ways for output audio:

  1. Use AirPlay or Google Cast. See Presentation: Using AirPlay, Google Cast.
  2. Use Video Streaming feature from NovoConnect App.
