<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Some tips for joining the webinar:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">VISUALS –
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Don’t use the “View in Browser” option, be sure to
<b>download the software to access the session</b>. The “View in Browser” option will leave you unable to see the visuals onscreen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">AUDIO –
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Option 1
<i>(the best option when it works)</i></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> - Once you’re logged in, click on the “Start” tab (it may default to that tab without needing to click) and use the second audio option
<b>“Have the system call me”</b>. Enter your phone number and click the button – the system will call you and when you answer the phone you should hear “hold music” until we open the phone line at 2:10 p.m.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Option 2
<i>(next best if the system doesn’t call you)</i></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> - If you try Option 1 above and the system doesn’t call you (which is a tech problem we experienced last month), use the third onscreen
option “Dial in to the meeting” and call us. If you use this option, <b>be sure to mute your phone</b> from your end, either on your actual phone, or
<b>by pressing *6</b>. We generally have over 100 people joining, so you can imagine the distractions that occur from background noise and/or hold music if people don’t mute their phone lines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Once you successfully have video and audio, click the button within the webinar to “Raise Your Hand” so we know all is working properly for you. Use the online chat
function to type questions or comments for OEBB staff throughout the meeting beginning at 2:00 p.m. At 2:10 p.m. we will take our phone off hold, the music will stop, and we will start the rest of the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
