How to meet challenges of meetings on line - during the COVID19

1 TIMING - HOW TO SEE TIMER
I went over time and was not seeing the timer. I think it would be helpful if each speaker is asked if they can see the timer, like in a contest.

to see the timer on zoom you 'pin' the timer. How? click on the three dots in the top right of the timer's obong section. An option will appear to pin timer. in a toastmasters conference the audience are asked to turn off their screen so that their movements do not distract the speakers.


2 AUDIO - MUTE SOUND
The family wanted to sleep. How to turn down the sound?

Pressing on the mute sound key on the laptop did not work. You need to press the Fn key as well as the F1 mute key, both keys together.

3 SPEAKEr's distractions
First, keep family out of the room. Secondly, when standing, don't sway side to side throughout your speech.

4 HOW TO SEND AN EVALUATION DOCUMENT?
Photograph it and email it. If the sender receives it as a PDF (picture which cannot be edited), they can SAVE AS the document in text format which they can edit.

Then they email back to you the filled in document.

Alternatively, they print the picture of the evaluation form, write in their comments, photograph the filled in form and email back the photo of the filled in form.

TO CHANGE YOUR NAME & PHOTO
Again, click on the three dots at the top of your picture. to be anonymous, for example as a judge or visitor, click on rename. The box where you type in a new name appears on your screen - or the laoptop below your screen. If you don't see the box, look at your other device.
