Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most often, plus solutions to technical problems.

How to clear your browser cache
Step-by-step instructions for clearing the cache in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Brave and DuckDuckGo on Windows, Linux, macOS, iPhone and iPad.
Technical issues
Can I use a custom background on the presenter's webcam?
The platform offers background blur rather than custom images on the presenter's webcam, a deliberate trade-off that keeps webinars usable on budget phones.
General questions
Setting up and using an external USB camera
How to connect a USB camera, allow your browser to use it on Windows or macOS, then pick it in the webinar room, because neither system picks a camera for you.
Technical issues
How to configure Google DNS on Windows 11 for faster internet
Point Windows 11 at Google's public DNS servers over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, with the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and both routes, the Settings app and Control Panel.
Technical issues
Activate the Media Feature Pack on Windows 11
Windows 11 N editions ship without the media components our broadcasting software needs, so it may refuse to start or show no webcam. Here is how to add them.
Technical issues
Sound settings in your operating system
Volume and voice chat problems in a webinar often start in the OS, so check the Windows volume mixer, default devices and exclusive mode, or macOS Sound.
Technical issues
How to enable WebRTC in your browser
WebRTC is on by default in current browsers, so when your camera and microphone will not go live, a blocking extension or an admin policy is usually why.
Technical issues
What to do if there is an echo during a webinar
Echo starts when a microphone picks up sound from the speakers. Lower the speaker volume in the room, and set the microphone level in your system settings.
Technical issues
The email service is blocked
Why a mail provider ends up on our blocklist, what your attendees can do when their address is rejected, and how a domain administrator can request a review.
Technical issues
Why your speed to EU servers is slower than Speedtest
Speedtest says 290 Mbps while your real speed to EU servers is 38. Latency, the TCP window and packet loss explain the gap, and you can prove it yourself.
Technical issues
WebSocket connection issues with BitDefender VPN
BitDefender VPN can block or inspect the secure WebSocket connections our rooms depend on. Recognise the error message and fix it by allowlisting both hosts.
Technical issues
Why did my webinar recordings disappear?
A recording missing from an account that still holds your other material was deleted by hand. Check the Trash, where deleted files wait for seven days.
Technical issues
Which file formats can I use in a webinar?
The presentation, video and audio formats you can upload to a webinar, plus how slide conversion affects embedded audio and animation in your slide decks.
