Adventures of the July 2020 Electronics Mtng & Which E-mtng Platform to Use

What are you using? I’ve yet to find a case it doesn’t work, with the exception of mobile browsers where it pushes you to the app depending on what mobile browser you are using.

EDIT:

I’ve used it on Firefox just fine. Version/OS?

It’s just that we’re trying to standardize on something. We have a hard time historically pushing online classes and meetings because everyone used something different and there wasn’t something official. Well, now there’s something official that so far most committees are using.

It ties into your DMS email (which chairs and committees, as a reminder, have to use), literally on your DMS calendar just make an event and hit the big button that says “Add Google Meet Video Conferencing.” You can also sent the meeting invite to the committee mailing lists as a guest list, add notes to the meeting, etc ( such as [email protected] )

It generates a unique link, and phone number with PIN Codes similar to other conferencing software.

This post has an instructional video. It goes over everything from signing into your DMS G Suite if you’re not already familiar, to making a meeting, to turning on recording, screen sharing, and live streaming. Only the person making the meeting has to be using the G Suite (which is where the recording will go; I personally throw my recordings into a committee drive so I can link them on the Wiki in the minutes).
