Meeting etiquette guidance
- Keep your mic muted unless you need to speak. The chair will be able to mute an attendee if their audio becomes distracting. You will need to unmute yourself to begin speaking when needed. Those attending via call-in only will need to press *6 to unmute themselves if this occurs.
- Raise your hand if you want to ask a question, then at an appropriate point, the Chair will invite you to speak. Speak in concise and clear manner so that everyone can hear what you are saying.
- Using or not using your camera is up to you. A limited number of windows will show the attendees of the meeting. These automatically show/hide based on participation. Be sure to turn your camera off if it is going to be distracting to others.
- You can use the chat window to ask questions. You can tag individuals by using the @userid format in the chat window when your comment is directed towards a specific attendee. This will distinguish it from a general comment.
- You can apply background effects if you don’t want meeting attendees to see your actual background.
- A recording of the meeting will be made available afterwards, including resources. Available at Care Provider Learning and Engagement Meeting (somersetprovidernetwork.org.uk)
