Best Practices

Follow these tips for a seamless session
  1. Muse App - For optimal performance, we recommend using the Muse App to avoid browser-related issues. Download Muse here.
  2. Access via Browser
    • Chrome ✅ (most recommended) - Download Chrome here.
    • Safari ✅
    • Firefox is not supported ❌
  3. Use Headphones - Speakers can cause a feedback loop with your microphone, creating an undesired echo.
  4. Fast Internet - A strong, stable connection is key for smooth audio streaming.

You're in - Welcome aboard!

Once you're in, it will look like this:

By default, you'll see the musician's shared screen as the main "big” video on the left, with you on the top right and the musician on the bottom right.

If you'd prefer to have the musician's camera as the "big" video, click the “…” on their camera view and select "Pin Video".

On the bottom right of the screen, you'll see the chat, which you can use to exchange messages:

You'll notice that you can even share files within the chat. However, we recommend only submitting files to musicians via the Musiversal app. Learn about that here.

5. To leave the session, click on the red "Leave Session" button
