Unfortunately sometimes there are technical issues with Airmeet, which can usually be resolved locally with your browser or computer settings. Before contacting Airmeet or Startup Space admins check this quick troubleshooting list:

Video & audio chat require permission to use webcam and microphone. Without this permission the functionalities won’t work either.
Virtual Workspace is not supported in mobile, you can only attend Webinars & other Special Sessions via mobile
Airmeet supports all browsers, but works best with Chrome (build 79+)
VPN or firewall may prevent the platform from working correctly, check your settings
