RULES
For Meeting Participation
Please be considerate of your fellow zoom participants.
We require that you....
Cancel if you can't attend. A spot has been reserved for you.
We have limited spots in our Zoom account. If you are not going to attend, please cancel your reservation now by writing to: contactcdgs@cdgsny.org. We generally have a number of people who are on our wait-list. When people register but don't attend, people who are on the waitlist get shut out.
Do not share your log-in with anyone else. We need to keep track of the number of people who will be able to view the program. When you share a link, you may be taking a spot away from someone who has already registered. You may also be compromising the security of the presentation. Each individual needs to make their own reservation. As a member benefit, the first 15 days of the month are for member registrations. The public is allowed to register starting the 16 th of the month if there are spots available.
Use the first and last name that you registered with when you log in for the presentation. We take attendance in person and online! You will not be admitted from the waiting room until the moderator sees a first and last name, as opposed to a telephone number, nickname, initials, etc. Check how to do this for your particular device. In most cases you cannot change your name in the waiting room, you must change it in your Zoom account before you join the meeting.https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-change-name-on-zoom
Keep your mic muted and video turned off. The Moderator has already muted the microphone and closed the video for all attendees. Please do not turn your mic or video on unless requested to by the moderator. Otherwise, the moderator will turn them off again.
Use the chat function. *You can communicate with us, with the whole group, or with an individual also in the meeting. If you are using a device that does not show the chat please email contactcdgs@cdgsny.org. Someone will be monitoring that email during the presentation
Submit questions for the presenter via chat. *
Our presenters prefer to have a moderator ask the questions.
