Preparing for the course

Instructions for the session - 5 point checklist

1. Familiarise yourself with Microsoft Teams

We will be using Microsoft Teams for the online workshop, which is a bit like Zoom.

To access Teams, all you need is a web browser but if you have the Teams app on your desktop, laptop, or iPad then you'll also be able to use this.
A Microsoft account (Teams) is required to login to the online workshop but if you don't have an account, it's easy to sign up for a free account.

To help you get started, there is some useful guidance and videos introducing Microsoft Teams.

2. Check your headphones/speakers

Please check in advance that the headphones or speakers on your computer/laptop are working before you join the session.

We will not be able to provide support or help if you experience sound problems so, please as your ICT person for help.

3. Please enter your full name if joining as a guest

On the day, if joining as a guest, please enter your full name when prompted so we can keep an accurate register of attendees.
You'll then have wait in a 'lobby' until the presenter invites you to enter the virtual room. This usually happens about 15 minutes before the event starts.

If you have already have a Teams account then your name will already be registered.

4. There will be Q&As

You may have some questions you'd like to ask so:

There will be a chat panel within the session where you can type questions at the end.
Microphones for delegates won't be enabled.

5. Try to log in on time

The webinar will start exactly at the specified time so if you don't wish to miss anything then please try to log in up to 15 minutes before the event to make sure everything works.
