TIPS FOR PARTICIPATING
There is a menu of options at the bottom of your screen (if you don’t see the menu, just move your cursor to or tap the bottom of your screen, and it will pop up):

1. “Mute” – Unless you are the meeting organizer, please mute your microphone; this is especially important when there are multiple participants. You can unmute when called on to make a comment.
2. “Stop Video” – This option turns off your webcam. You can still see others, but they cannot see you.
3. “Chat” – This opens a panel where you can type a question or make a comment. Within the panel, you will have options for chatting with everyone or selecting a specific participant.
4. “Leave Meeting” – When the meeting ends (or when you need to go), click here or simply close the app.
