Webinar Etiquette

Keep in mind that when you participate in a webinar session there are usually many other people participating as well. That means that it is important for you to be ready to go when the session begins.

  • Please keep this email - it contains the URL to attend the session and your login instructions.
  • Prior to the start of the session, please login by going to the URL listed above in this email. It is a good idea to test your headset and microphone.
  • On the day of the webinar, please login 5-10 minutes prior to the start time, we will be starting the session on schedule.
  • The preferred method for answering questions during this webinar will be through text messages rather then verbally. In the bottom left corner of your screen you will see the area for typing in your questions. Hit enter after the message is complete and everyone participating will be able to see your message.
  • Please type in your questions throughout the webinar session – as you think of them. We do appreciate you keeping your questions to a minimum so we can address as many as possible. We may take the liberty of combining several similar questions on the same topic.
  • If the facilitator just happens to be changing the slide at the same time you are typing you may experience a momentary block on your typing. You can continue to compose your message as soon as the slide has changed.
  • We will address as many questions as possible during the designated “Breaks for Questions” periods. If we are unable to answer all of the questions submitted, or if we need to retrieve information to answer your question, within several days of the webinar we will email all registered attendees a copy of those questions with our answers.
  • As a courtesy to other attendees, if you need to phone in, please use your telephone’s mute button. Any background noise in the area of your computer; voices of patrons or coworkers, ringing telephones and other noise, can be distracting for webinar participants.
  • NEVER put your phone on hold because then all attendees will hear your “on hold” music.

Thank you for your cooperation. Please enjoy your webinar session!
