SPEAKER view shows the person talking in a large square with some of the participants in smaller squares either above or beside the large square. This is personal preference, but ordinarily in a large meeting, you would want to select SPEAKER view, especially during worship. Please note: when you are in GALLERY view, it will say Speaker in the upper right corner, and when you are in SPEAKER view, it will say Gallery in the upper right corner.Accessing the PARTICIPANTS window so you can RAISE your hand in order to be recognized to ask a question, ask a point of order, and/or make a motion: Move your cursor around your screen, typically at the bottom, you will see a bar of icons. One of those will say PARTICIPANTS. Clicking that will open a new window, usually at the right-side of your screen, with the names of all those participating. To raise your hand, you must click the icon of a hand. When the RAISED HAND is clicked, you will see a blue hand near your name in the PARTICIPANTS window.Accessing the PARTICIPANTS window to VOTE: As in #5 above, you will need to open the PARTICIPANTS window. To place a vote, you must click either the green circle with the check mark inside for YES or the red circle with an X inside for NO. If you voted YES then a green circle with a check mark inside will appear next to your name in the PARTICIPANTS window. If you voted NO, then a red circle with an X inside will appear next to your name in the PARTICIPANTS window.Participating in a POLL vote: When it’s time to vote in a POLL, it will show up right in front of you on the screen.

The STATED CLERK will receive your request and direct it to the Moderator.MUTE and UNMUTE yourself with ease by either clicking the MUTE or UNMUTE button on your screen, or by holding down the space bar while muted to speak.

To speak, you will have to raise your hand and be recognized by the Moderator, then you will be unmuted. Please do not unmute yourself unless you have been recognized by the Moderator. This will help us to keep audio interruptions to a minimum.If you are unable to join with video, but wish to call in for the presbytery meeting, a telephone number is given to you in your registration email. You will need to dial the number provided, enter the meeting ID and passcode, then you will show as a telephone on everyone else’s screen. To mute and unmute, use *6. To raise your hand in order to seek Moderator recognition, use *9. The Assistant Stated Clerk will need to know who you are so he can rename your connection from your phone number to your name.
