Auido and Video not working unless Creator Logs in

This doesn't happen all the time, but happens most of the time. Our group can't transmit audio or video, but as soon as the Creator of the game logs in suddenly the video and voice turns on and we're good to go. But every once and a while we can transmit audio and video without the Creator. So is there some setting that we've missed in order to allow every one to log in and chat and shoot the breeze while waiting for the Creator? Anybody know a solution?

You can try the "Reconnect" button in settings if you can't hear everyone. Maybe the Creator is hitting the "reconnect all" GM button when they come in? Alternatively, and much more reliably, use another voice chat platform. Discord, Skype, Hangouts... even Zoom if you're feeling very 2020. Discord can be handy to have in the background anyway, for off-topic chat, image posting, sledging the DM.... that kind of thing. Keeps the in-game chat log clean.
Thanks for the reply. I know for sure they aren't hitting the "reconnect all" button and while I realize we could use another platform I think the point of what we're trying to achieve is to get the video, voice, and rolls all in one place for RPG. I'm thinking that this is some sort of weird networking bug that could really use a fix to enhance the usability of the platform.
We all have to use the "Reconnect" button at least once an hour when playing with just audio (no video).
