How to Enable Live Meeting in Collaborate
Start by launching a Collaborate session as you typically would. Once your session has started, click on the Start Chat button at the top of your screen to enable Live Meeting.

When Live Meeting is enabled, all guests joining your Collaborate session can participate in voice chat from any computer, iPhone/Android, tablet or VR headset that has a speaker and microphone. 
 
Upon joining the Collaborate session, your guests will be prompted to allow use of their own microphone. If they do not allow use of their microphone, they can still join the session, however they will not be able to use the Live Meeting tool to hear the host or other guests.
