5. You will need to join from outside Remote Desktop (RDS) for your webcam or microphone to work. Minimize the remote desktop window 

6. Paste the hyperlink you copied in to Edge, Chrome, or another browser. Alternatively, open the link in the meeting invite that was sent to your personal email, if you entered it in the optional field.
