Video/Mute
While we all need to turn off our cameras occasionally, I do hope that you remain on camera for most of the session. I believe you’ll find that it creates a more interactive experience for all of us! Participants will also be periodically invited to unmute themselves to facilitate discussion in both large and small groups.
Using Zoom
While Zoom can function on a variety of devices, access to a computer (or laptop) is recommended to fully participate in the activities. During the meeting, we will use various Zoom features for engagement and interacting.
