Make sure your name is spelled correctly. To do that, click on participants at the bottom center. It will open the top right pane. You will see a blue box that says rename. If you need to update your name, that is where you do it.
When I call on an EMAC member, you will need to unmute – click on the microphone at the bottom left – to be heard.
