During a streaming session, several controls are available to the Presenter and Viewers.

## **Muting the stream**

To mute the stream, select the speaker icon at the bottom of the stream player. Doing this will mute the sound​ for yourself only and will not affect the sound of other viewers.

## **Wide mode**

Wide mode allows you to prioritize space for the stream player without going into fullscreen. It will hide the list of viewers and also the invitation form if you are a presenter.

Select the screen icon at the bottom of the stream player to enter wide mode. As a presenter, you can still keep track of the number of viewers actively watching the session in wide mode with the active viewer info at the bottom of the stream player.

## **Fullscreen**

As the name suggests, this will allow you to view the stream in fullscreen. Select the fullscreen icon at the bottom of the stream player.

## **Session burn-in**

For additional security, by default, the stream is embedded with a session-specific ID. This ID can be traced if required from Sohonet’s audit logs. There is an option for administrators to [remove or customise this burn-in](https://help.sohonet.com/en/articles/104556-adjusting-flexbox-settings) if required in the Admin panel.
