Here are some other best practices for joining the networking area for speed networking:

1. Use Headphones: Please join today's event with a pair of wired headphones. This will help eliminate echo and feedback.

2. Browser: Some browsers are not fully compatible with Hopin, so we recommend using Chrome or Firefox at its latest version.

3. VPNs & Firewalls: Some VPNs and Firewalls can prevent attendees from accessing all features within the Hopin venue. Disabling these helps! If you are on a work network or any network behind a firewall, you may need to speak with your IT department or network administrator to ensure you have the best setup to enjoy your Hopin event. When you do, please give them the websites below to whitelist, and the ports to open as noted in this article.

4. External Device: It can help to cycle through devices when you're having trouble unmuting yourself, especially if you're using an external device. Power-cycling them can also help!

5. Internet Connection: Please make sure you have a strong internet connection when attending an event, as this can affect the ease with which some features are experienced.

6. Permissions: Hopin needs permission to access your microphone and camera, please make sure these are granted! If you're using MacOS with Chrome or Firefox, you might need to give the browsers permissions, as well. You can do this under your system privacy settings.

7. Restart your computer before joining the event: This ensures that there are no other video applications holding onto audio or video for any reason.
