Zoom-Room Monitors will be responsible for many tech-tasks including assisting in screensharing and break-out rooms for presenters (where needed), assigning co-host privileges, making sure captions are turned on, and helping navigate opening and closing the room to attendees before and after the class. This position requires you to be available 15 minutes prior to the start of the session and 15 minutes after the conclusion of the session. Zoom-Room monitors are not required to be on-camera, and may be asked to take a short training in the week leading up to KBtL-III. This role can be combined with the Class Assistant role if desired.
Gather Greeter: This role is to help our attendees with questions in Gather during events. Gather Greeters will be trained on Gather before con to better assist attendees with questions on where socials/events in Gather are held and how to navigate the space. Greeters are expected to be logged into Gather 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time, and are not required to be on-camera.
Social Host: Do you want to host an hour or so of social time, do you have an idea or is there a special interest group or identity group you belong to and would like to connect with other folks like you? Social hosts are considered volunteers and should be welcoming (though extroversion is not a requirement) and able to connect with people. Socials are not classes, so you don't need teaching experience. Are you a welcoming and sociable person and want to host a social, but have no idea what? Let us know and we'll see if there are socials that you can host that are KBtL Sponsored.
