iPad participants:
Tap Join Meeting in the VRIFY app and enter the meeting code.
Web participants:
Go to vrify.com/meetings in a browser
Enter the 5 digit Meeting Code
Start presenting
Once your participants have joined, you begin your 3D Presentation by clicking the x on the participants modal
View participants connection type
By opening the participants modal in the top right, you will be able to see how each participant has joined the meeting
Pass and Take Control of a Meeting
