You do not have to have a microphone and webcamera to participate. You
can just chat, listen and watch using your regular browser. We suggest
that you clear browser cache and cookies before starting any session.

RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:

We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Daylight Time.

Join early to test your controls, hearing (sound), video screen sharing
and microphone (speaking).  You might be muted on entry.

During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.

Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback
loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at-least earbuds is highly
recommended. Using Ethernet is better than WiFi connectivity.

If you do not make the effort and take the time to get your connection
working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Try dropping your
connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues. But, do so slowly,
as granting access to your microphone and camera too quickly is a known
current main problem in Jitsi. Also, there are often sound settings in
different browsers that may need to be changed.

======================================================================

WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:

6:00 PM Join early.

Please set your identity to show first name and last name.  Instead
of full last name you could just follow first name with an initial.
We do prefer that you use your full last name.

Please hold your questions until after start of the meeting.

Use the Question Mark (?) to brings up a list of shortcut keys.
Note that the "C" takes you into chat, yet does not toggle; so,
after entering any chat you need to use the Escape key to exit.
The "M" will toggle your microphone.  The "V" will toggle your
webcamera video screen.  Lower case or upper case works.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

6:30 PM Start of meeting.

Anybody joining after 6:30pm that experiences issues with controls,
hearing, screen sharing or speaking should only use chat room to ask
questions or make comments.  Disconnecting and reconnecting usually
fixes issues from an initial problem session.

All may be muted at this point.  You will have to unmute yourself in
order to speak. You can ask questions and make comments in chat room.

ORDER OF EVENTS:

First some simple introductions, administrative minutia, announcements,
and then you can Call-For-Help during our Questions-and-Answers period.
