Live! Audio conference

Live! introduces the audio conferencing feature to enhance its real-time collaboration experience. Users that are logged into Live! can start or join an audio conference.

You can join the conference by simply clicking the Call button. All users that are participating in the conference are audible at real-time. There is a Mute button to mute yourself, if you are not speaking. Call is a toggle button that is used to both call or stop the call. There is also an indicator on the user icons to show whether the users are speaking or on mute.
Note: In case you have an audio issue in the call, try to stop and rejoin the call using the Call button highlighted in the following image.

When you click the Call button, a browser dialog appears asking whether you want the application to use your microphone for the audio call. Click Allow. The following images show how the messages appear in Chrome and Firefox browsers:
