During conference
To speak, press and hold the talk button on the bottom left-hand side of the screen. Make sure
you do not select the lock icon next to the microphone icon. This locks the microphone, so only
you can speak.
You should raise your hand (icon to the left of the microphone) to request the microphone
before you take over speaking.
There is an area on the left to chat privately or publicly. Professionalism should be maintained
at all times and the session may be recorded.
The host of the meeting has to grant speaking or presentation rights, and may change the
display between desktop view, document view, and whiteboard view.
For additional details on the use of Breeze, see the tutorials in item 3 above.
