Yandex Telemost selects the microphone, audio output device, and camera automatically. However, you can select devices manually:

When you create or join a meeting for the first time, the browser requests access to the microphone and camera. You can allow access immediately in the request notification or later in your browser settings. To find out how to do this, see the instructions for your browser.
