MY DEVICES ARE CONNECTED PROPERLY, BUT I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!
If you're confident everything is connected properly, your devices might be being used by another tool or application. Make sure tools like Zoom, Google Hangouts, Go To Meeting etc. have been closed prior to starting the session.
THE SOUND IS COMING OUT OF A DIFFERENT DEVICE THAN I WANT. WHAT CAN I DO?

THE OUTPUT DEVICE I WANT TO USE ISN'T SHOWING UP - HOW CAN I FIX THIS?
First, check the physical connection to your device, by either unplugging and reconnecting your physical headphones, or toggling Bluetooth on and off.

On a Windows device, click the loudspeaker icon on the bottom right of your screen, and you'll be able to change the output device.
