Participants Area

This area displays current participants in the session, their roles, as well as indicators for audio stream, video stream etc. Let us have a look at a typical participants area and the elements it includes:

Camera/Microphone Status

On the right, next to each user, you can see icons that act as status indicators for that user (e.g. synchronization status, audio streaming status, video streaming status).
