* Under **Input Device**, select the microphone you’ll be using (e.g., your headset or external mic).
* Adjust the **Input Volume** so that your voice is clear but not too loud.
* **Test Your Mic** by speaking, and you’ll see the input bar move in real-time to ensure the sound is coming through properly.

* **Setting Up Your Webcam** (Optional):

  * Go to the same **Voice & Video** settings.
  * Under **Video Settings**, enable **Camera** by clicking on the toggle switch.
  * Select your webcam from the **Video Input Device** dropdown menu.
  * You can test your webcam in the settings to ensure the image is clear.

  **Note:** You don’t have to turn on the webcam unless you want to; the coach will still be able to guide you without it.\
