Helpful Tips
Helpful Tips
Tucker Hiatt will act as Host and Moderator.
Use headphones or a headset if possible, because that reduces noisy feedback.
We ask everyone to keep their mics muted except when asking a question (speaking).
We also ask everyone to submit questions by text Chat to keep them orderly, a feature of Google Meet (like in YouTube Premiere). Everyone is able to see the Chat log.
Please do not use Present now! It will share your screen with everyone in the Meet.
If too many people are talking over each other, you can Turn on Captions to keep everyone separated and identified.
