I will post the link here on discourse prior to the meeting. Depending on what operating system you are using it may be necessary to download an app. Details can be found at Join Meeting - Zoom
The meeting will be recorded and may be made public in whole or in part so please do not use any non-public names of participants or disclose any personal details without permission. You can find out what details are publicly available by clicking on the participant’s icon/profile picture (these are already available to non-members) – clicking on your own icon enables you to edit what details are publicly shown (change this if you do not want your registered name to be visible).
If anyone has any comments or suggestions, or concerns about privacy, please post them here. Remember one of the main reasons we moved to discourse was to raise our public profile. You can still be anonymous and do not have to use video nor audio, though it would obviously be to everyone’s benefit - and yours - to do so. Video and audio will be on by default but I think you have the opportunity to turn them off before joining.
Depending on the number of participants it maybe useful to use “raise hand“ if you want to contribute or ask a question. It also lets others see that you wish to do so. Details of how to raise a hand can be found HERE
Many thanks to Miguel for his invaluable assistance in getting this set up.
