Please read the following instructions for the meeting:
Think of a Zoom Meeting as a face-to-face meeting and conduct yourself as you would if you were all present in the same room. In addition:
- Join early – up to 5 minutes before the meeting start time.
- Please mute your microphone as a courtesy after entry to the meeting and keep your microphone muted when not talking
- If you haven’t used Zoom before click the link to download Zoom prior to the day of the meeting and familiarise yourself with any features you may need to use on the day – mute/unmute microphone, stop/start video, screenshare etc.
- Have your video on unless you are experiencing connection issues
- Find a quiet space without interruptions / background noise
- Have good lighting on your face so you can be seen clearly – avoid backlight from bright lights/windows
- Adjust your camera to be at around eye level if possible – especially take note of the angle of your laptop screen if using the built-in camera.
- Try to avoid talking over / at the same time as other participants
