Known Issues and Solutions

📱 iPhone: audio output sometimes switches randomly between loudspeaker and earspeaker.

Workaround: use bluetooth or cable headphones, this way audio will always go through the headphones.

📱 Android: when Android phone goes to sleep/lockscreen because of inactivity the microphone or sound output might stop working until you unlock the screen

Workaround: make sure the phone does not go to sleep

Participants can hear me but I can not hear them
