1. Please logon to the meeting early to ensure that audio and video are set up correctly and to give the meeting host an opportunity to check the audio levels at their end. Also gives you a chance to chat to other members before the meeting officially starts.
2. During presentations all participants apart from the speaker will be muted.  Should you wish to ask a question please 'raise your hand'. This is done by clicking on 'Participants' and scrolling to the foot of that section where you should see a 'Raise Hand' symbol. Tap that and wait for the Chair to invite you to speak then unmute your microphone. 
3. Please note that the meetings may be recorded for fellow members to view at a later date.
4. Please have your microphone muted until it’s your turn to speak - it stops extraneous noises interrupting the meeting. If you have no need to speak, and you haven’t already been muted by the presenter, mute yourself.
