Welcome to Tech Tuesday! Ask a Geek! Please use the Tools  Audio  Audio Setup Wizard to check your microphone and speaker settings. If you have headphones or earbuds, please use them to reduce feedback from the speakers. Our session will begin at 3:30 MST/4:30 CST. If you want to speak let me know in the chat window and I’ll turn off my mic. In order for you to speak you will need to click on your mic picture on the bottom Left of the screen so the mic is pointing up. Then click it again when you’re Done.
