Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers or the room where the conference is being broadcast is equipped with speakers  so you can hear the presenters.

1. Connect your PC to your TV via a HDMI cable.

The HDMI port on your PC and the HDMI port on the TV are the same and the HDMI cable should have the same connector on both ends. If your TV has more than one HDMI cable, you should make note of the port number you plug it into.
