I can attend part of the meeting. Do I register/assign a proxy voter?

What language will be used?

How do you know only CASLI members are voting?

By voting through CASLI.ca, we can ensure that only voting members will have access to the individual ballots.

I can't see who is presenting in Zoom; how do I change that?

This will be important since the meeting will be conducted in ASL. There will be a person who controls the "spotlight," meaning the person who is presenting should appear on your screen. Since we will be using Zoom webinar, there should be fewer issues. You can also:

• Ensure the "Hide non-video participants" is enabled
• Use Gallery view

What if my device stops working during the meeting or I have a poor connection?

Sorry - there is not much we can do if your device spontaneously quits working during the meeting. Here are some tips to ensure all goes well for you: Helpful Tips

• Check your internet speed, camera, screen before the meeting starts
• Use a hardwire connection for an optimal, stable internet connection.
• Have a backup device, like a smartphone or tablet, ready with the Zoom app installed.
• Use a laptop or desktop computer to access the meeting. Processes on a tablet or mobile may add complications.

How do I turn off my camera or microphone?

On your screen, you will see two buttons: a microphone and a camera. They should be close together, often at the bottom of the screen. You can click these to toggle between off and on for audio and video. If your microphone is off, you will see a red line through the microphone. Likewise, if your camera is off, you will see a red line through the camera camera button.
