 +//grown from the seed that Fabiola De la Cueva sowed//
 +
 +===== Holding a meeting =====
 +
 +=== As the host ===
 +
 +  * Have a dedicated moderator (other than the presenter!)
 +  * Start 15 minutes early
 +  * Mute all microphones except for the presenter and the moderator
 +  * If bandwidth is low, ask participants to turn off their cameras
 +  * place a visual reminder to record the meeting
 +
 +=== As a moderator ===
 +
 +  * monitor the chat and voice questions for the presenter
 +  * Check with the presenter if they want to be interrupted with questions during the presentation or if they want to wait until the end of the presentation
 +
 +=== As a presenter ===
 +
 +    * think about the background of your video - what do you want people to see?
 +    * [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15058/windows-10-show-hide-resize-desktop-icons|hide the desktop icons]] (Windows) or select to share a 'clean' desktop (Mac)
 +    * set the screen resolution of the monitor you share to a small setting so participants will see more detail
 +    * have another device connected to the meeting to see what everyone else sees, including video lag. Make sure this other device has both mic and speakers muted
 +    * ask if everybody can see your desktop/slides before you actually start
 + 
 +=== As a participant ===
 +
 +  * Make use of early arrival if the host offers it. Figure out technical issues beforehand.
 +
 +===== Organising a meeting =====
 +
 +  * Make sure to send out invites so people will have the date in their calendars and the timezones are figured out automatically
 +    * If posting a link, include a link to world time buddy with your city already in there, so people just have to add theirs
 +  * Plan (and advertise) to start 15 minutes early
