Q: A Guest is joining from the phone and is unable to see AND/OR hear the others in the Green Room or Broadcast
A: Make sure that within Settings, that “Guest” mode is selected for “Join broadcasts as a…” (not “Camera”)
Q: My Guest is stuck on the screen trying to Join the Broadcast. They are seeing a spinning wheel that won't stop spinning. What do I do?
A: There are a few reasons why your Guest would see that:

They are using another application that is prioritizing their camera and microphone (ex: Skype, Zoom, Hangouts). Please have them check and quit any external applications.
They need to clear their browser cache.
