Online facilitation guide

We recommend using Jitsi Meet, a free and open-source videoconferencing site. Of course, if you have access to Microsoft Teams or a Zoom account, you can use that as well!

To create your meeting, go to the Jitsi Meet website here. Click on the link below the field to create a moderated meeting.

You can just copy the link for participants and share it with them before the meeting.

You can then copy the link to access as a moderator and keep it for yourself.

The meeting will remain accessible until it is deleted by you, so it will be accessible even if the workshop is one month after the link was created.

After joining the link, enter your name to join the meeting.

You can now use different functions as a moderator. We will focus on the 3 options that will be most useful to you:

• The microphone: make sure, before the meeting, that you have a microphone and sound that works

• The camera: ensure your camera is functional to communicate more effectively with participants during the workshop.

• The “Participants” button allows you to manage participants and create additional rooms to separate participants into subgroups.

• Once the rooms have been created, you can then assign participants to one of the rooms by clicking on the participant and then selecting the three small dots on the side to assign them to the chosen room.

• Click on the participants again to bring them back to the main room once group time is over.
