For those not having good audio connection, it provides a way to provide input. You can also provide photos, website links, etc. Or as kids did in school, you can pass notes to individuals vs. the whole group. Also mute your computer or phone (when enabled) until you want to speak. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know if ZOOM has a “raise your hand to speak” feature? With ZOOM, you don’t have the visual clues of a live meeting, so you end up stomping on each other. Then too there is often a slight time between the group hearing the speaker and when the speaker actually began to talk. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Al T.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> men <men-bounces@fuusm.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ted Goertzel via men<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 19, 2020 9:14 AM<br><b>To:</b> Men at Fuusm <men@fuusm.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Ted Goertzel <tedgoertzel@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Men] Men's Group Meeting Tonight<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>The men's group will be meeting tonight (Thursday March 19) at 7 in a Zoom Room.

You can do voice-only without video, but it is better if you can also turn on the video.

If there's a lot of people, I'll take the responsibility as host to call on people. We'll have our usual check-in, sharing what's happening in our lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>It seems to work well with the Chrome browser, with other browsers it may be necessary to install the Zoom software.

It is easy to go to Zoom.com in advance of the meeting (click the button on the upper right where it says "jon now it's free"). Once you learn this you may use it for other things including church services on Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>If we find this helpful, we can do it more often than once a month. It looks like we'll be having a lot of free time. Maybe we would like a once a week check-in where we share pointers for dealing with life in a pandemic? It's an idea we can discuss tonight. Maybe this should be for men and women, not just for men?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
