We\u2019re so glad you are willing to participate in our Zoom Meeting for Worship. While less-than-ideal, we find this a helpful way to gather in spite of our need to keep our distance. We try to make our Zoom Meeting reverent and as similar as possible to the meetings in our Meetinghouse. Note: you will need a password and we’ve sent this out via e-mail. If you don’t have it, please ask another member of the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To join you will need the following information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To Join by screen<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have trouble trying to join by screen<\/p>\n\n\n\n To Join by Phone<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Timing<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join the Meeting anytime after 10:15am on any Sunday. Like\nentering our Meeting Room in Durham, this is quiet time unless absolutely\nnecessary to speak up because you are having some sort of technical difficulty.\nThe Meeting will formally begin around 10:30, opened by the Meeting Leader. The\nMeeting will typically end around 11:30 followed by informal and un-moderated\nfellowship time for catching up with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your name as it appears to others<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please write your first and last name when joining. To\nchange how your name appears after the meeting has started, open the\nParticipant list by clicking the participant icon at the bottom of the scree,\nfind yourself on the list and mouse over your name, click more, click rename.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To Unmute<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All are muted upon entering the meeting. To unmute if\nparticipating by screen, press the space bar on your keyboard or unmute\nyourself by clicking the microphone icon in the bottom left of your screen. To\nunmute if participating by phone, press *6 to unmute or mute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To Raise Your Hand<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By screen, raise your hand as usual. Make sure your Video is\nunmuted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By phone, press *9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are times when raising a hand is not necessary to\nspeak. Use your judgment. If people are waiting to be called on, it is the\nMeeting Leader who calls on people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chat<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking the Chat icon at the bottom of your screen you\ncan send written messages to the whole meeting or to specific people. Phone\nparticipants don\u2019t have access to these chat messages. If you want something to\nbe conveyed to the whole meeting, raise your hand and say it out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hymns<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it\u2019s time for a hymn someone will play it on piano for all\nto hear. Words will be provided in advance or on the screen. You are encouraged\nto sing along but only if you are on mute. It doesn\u2019t work well for anyone to\nbe singing unmuted because it overrides the piano. If you are singing unmuted,\nthe Host might mute you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roles<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meeting Leader (also know as Care of Worship)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Host (also known as Zoom Support)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uneasy about Zoom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before joining our Zoom Meeting you can do a test Zoom Meeting\nhere: https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y3p2v4db<\/a>.\nAlso at this website are answers to many questions about Zoom.
