For full videoconferencing, so you can be seen as well as heard, you will need a webcam on your computer. A headset is recommended, too. Putting yourself on 'mute' ( *6 on most devices) when not speaking is also recommended, to lower noise and feedback. But you can listen and speak on a regular phone also. This first time you login, it will take a few minutes for your browser to download and install the viewing software. Don't panic, just hit the buttons. If you mess it up, you can start over.
