We want to make participating in meetings as convenient as possible because your opinions are important to us. We use the video platform called Zoom. A Zoom account is not required if you are strictly joining as a participant. You can join using your phone or computer.
Using Zoom
- When you click the Zoom link on a specific meeting page, you will be able to watch the meeting in progress.
- When you join the meeting, you will not be able to speak until you are called upon to do so by the moderator. Your mic will be muted. Your video will also not be turned on at any time.
- There are designated times during the meeting when it will be open for public comment/testimony. A county staff/moderator will make it clear when this is.
- If you want to provide a comment/testimony, you will be instructed to utilize the “Raise Hand” feature. Attendees on PC and iPad: You have a “Raise Hand” button on the Zoom Bar (Top or Bottom depending on device)
- When you are switched over to provide a comment/testimony, your screen will look different for a little while. Primarily, you will see all participants’ cameras — not just the one who is speaking. Do not be alarmed, this is correct.
