Points to remember while testing the app

1. Allow permissions for camera and mic
2. In case any user is not broadcasted it is probably due to server overload, REFRESH the window to solve this.
3. Make sure the URL is starting with https
4. While scheduling a meet make sure the start and end date follow a logical sequence or else it’ll show an error.
5. While testing the Posture bot, allow permissions for the camera and allow notifications, and REFRESH the page for changes to take effect.
6. Wait for the model to analyze, and check for notifications
