   • Meeting ID- leave as “Generate Automatically.”
   • Password- you can require one or leave it blank.
   • Video- these are settings for how the host and participants will first enter the meeting. They will be able to turn on/off their video once they are in the meeting.
   • Audio- you’ll want your participants to connect via Computer Audio, but you should leave the setting to allow for both Telephone and Computer Audio, just in case someone has issues with their microphone/speakers.
