Webinar Audio: You will need computer speakers, or headphones plugged into your computer's audio jack or USB port. You do not need a microphone to participate in a PLA webinar; all attendees are muted.
Online Meeting Audio: To use computer audio, a microphone—such as a headset with a microphone, or a USB or inline microphone—is required. Although a built-in computer or laptop microphone can be used, it is not preferred. If you do not have the required microphone, then on-screen prompts will instruct you how to call in using a telephone (your carrier's charges may apply). Always join the meeting from your computer first, then follow the on-screen prompts to connect your audio using a telephone.

If you join a PLA webinar early, you may see this message on your screen.
Most likely, PLA staff is conducting a final audio check with the webinar panelist(s). You'll be automatically placed in the webinar when the audio check is complete, typically about 10–15 minutes prior to the published start time.
