  4. Run the standalone app (if applicable), go to app settings, and see if there's a microphone/camera/speakers test available in there. If it is, test that everything works as expected.
  5. If there is an "echo service" available for this tool (e.g. a special number or URL that you can call, which will record your inputs and play it back to you), use this service to verify that everything works as expected. See #Echo services.
  6. If possible, initiate a call with a friend/colleague/someone or join an existing meeting/class/etc to verify that you can see and hear others, and others can see and hear you.
