Additionally, for the virtual participants in the meeting, we encourage the following:
• Please sign in using your full name.
• Please use the raise hand function if you would like to speak.
• Please be aware the meeting is being recorded.
• If you are going to use a phone or tablet, please use the device in the horizontal position so that all video is orientated in the same direction.
• Please speak slowly and clearly.
• Please keep all comments concise and on topic.
Some other tips:
Virtual Call etiquette:
In general:
• Audio is very important; Be considerate of your environment and ambient noise that can be picked up by microphones. If you can use a headset, please do.
• Give your attention. Avoid looking at other things when in a meeting. Stay focused. You have the internet at your fingertips. STAY PRESENT; FACEBOOK LATER.
• Have your phone ready as a backup. Some systems allow for video to be on the computer and audio to be via the telephone.
• Consider power dynamics. Unequal internet connections become clear at a moment like this. Moderate. Empathize. Think before talking.
If at all possible, we would prefer that you join via the Zoom Software (computer) or App (phone). It is a fairly painless process once you have the software or app installed. Details below.
