them to click the blue telephone icon to mute their speakers.
Ask questions – will you take questions at the end, or throughout? Will they ask questions by audio or using chat?
Access the recording Moderate the chat for questions.
Tips for Moderators
Can I share a YouTube video or other video content with my participants? Sharing video is not recommended due to audio
complications. Can I mix and match phone audio and
computer audio during my session? Yes. You will be charged at the actual rate depending
on what audio method participants use to connect. Where can I find additional resources?
