Test & Prepare for Online Video Meetings

Online video meetings are a great way to include participants who are not physically at the venue in the matchmaking process. 

However, some technical problems may occur along the way. This is why we recommend that you prepare and test the online meeting before it begins. 

How can I prepare for an online video meeting?

Access the Meetings page by clicking on the meetings icon on the event navigation. 

To access the online video meeting room, click on Join on the meeting card. 

join from meetings page-1b41d34a-1d55-459f-98c0-1b5d053fc14b

Note: To enter the meeting room and test the meeting, the other participant must accept your invitation.

We recommend joining the meeting room before the meeting starts to test your microphone and camera. You will see a notification that the meeting has not yet started, and when will it start.
