Using Zoom

Please log on a few minutes before the start time to test speakers and microphone, and to minimize disruptions once the meeting begins. The zoom line will be open ten minutes before the meeting start time.

Please mute your microphone unless you are speaking. This cuts down on excess background noise. The mute button is on the bottom left of the Zoom window.
As Host of the meeting, CIFAR will be able to mute people remotely.
Zoom has a "raise hand" feature. You can find the Raise Hand button by clicking 'Reactions' on the bottom toolbar. We will be monitoring for raised hands.
