During the meeting

 

How to adjust your view?

  • On the right upper corner of the meeting window you can select the Speaker view or the Gallery view. We recommend using Speaker view to follow the presentations and Gallery view for the Panel discussion.

  • We highly recommend adjusting your Zoom settings:

    • Meeting à Video à select “hide non-video participants”. This way you will not fill your screen with blank squares and will be able to follow the speakers better.

 

 How to ask a question?

  • To ask a question you can use the “Raise hand” function of Zoom. You can find the “Raise hand” button by clicking on the “Participants” icon at the bottom of the meeting window. This will open a sidebar with the list of participants and at the bottom of the sidebar there’s a small hand icon. By clicking on the hand icon once you raise your hand and can lower it by clicking a second time. The host of the session will give you the permission to unmute yourself when it’s your turn to ask your question.
