Accessing your Sessions
How do I log on to my sessions?
Accessing and logging in to your sessions will be easy using the Attendee Hub (The Hub). You will be using The Hub to log in to all your sessions.
When should I log on?
Approximately 10 minutes before your session is scheduled to begin, please login to The Hub.
Five minutes before the session start time, a button to join session will appear on The Hub. If you are asked to enter your name, please enter your name and email for attendance reporting.
You will be in a virtual waiting room until the meeting begins at the scheduled time. While you’re waiting, please familiarize yourself with any features you may need to use for the meeting.
Once you’ve logged in, you will see this Zoom control bar at the bottom of the screen:
If your Zoom control bar disappears, drag your mouse to the bottom of your Zoom screen to make it come back.
If Zoom seems to disappear entirely from your screen at any time, click this icon.
Is the HOD meeting a Zoom meeting or a Zoom webinar?
Both HOD sessions will be conducted via Zoom meeting.
Do I need to have my video on and will everyone be able to hear/see me?
For Zoom meetings you will be able to turn your camera on to be visible and you will be able to see other attendees with their camera on. All attendees enter the
meeting automatically on mute and with their camera off. You will be able to speak by raising your hand and being invited to unmute and turn your camera on. The process for doing so will be reviewed in the meeting.
