Step 2: Drag walkie talkie from more apps to the navigation bar.
Step 3: Click on the walkie talkie and choose a channel. You can only connect to a single channel at a time.

Step 5: The participant icon can let you see how many people are connected to the specific channel including you. You can also check who is connected using the same icon.
