Participate in an online meeting

1. Once you join the meeting you can use the floating menu to turn your camera and microphone on and off, share your screen, start a chat, and view meeting participants.

Tips for Success Use a dedicated headset: Headsets or headphones with built in microphones, like the

ones often used with cell phones, can significantly improve audio quality. Mute Participants: You can ask students to mute their microphones but as the meeting

host you can also mute students directly by clicking on their name and selecting mute. Share screen: Keep participants engaged by sharing your screen to display slides,

documents, or even HUB pages Use alongside other tools: When not sharing your screen you can continue to prompt

student use your favorite instructional technology tools such as PearDeck and Kahoot. Turn on the camera: Students are more likely to engage with your content when they

are able to see the presenters face.
