How to Join Our Virtual Meetings
Overview Members Area Help
Before joining the sessions, ensure you are in a quiet room where you will be able to listen and speak freely. Give yourself 10 minutes before the start time to get set up. Sessions will be between 30-60 minutes long depending on the topic so we have to make the most of the time.
If joining via computer (recommended), please test your device/computer audio and microphone before joining calls.
