Webex
This is the tool we use to conduct our missionary meetings on line. It is important that we missionaries meet together often; Webex is the tool to accomplish that.

Meetings

 * This is the link to our Webex meetings.
 * You will be given meeting numbers which give you access to our various missionary meetings.
 * Here is the tool bar:
 * Meet now - this allows you to set a meeting immediately if need be.
 * Schedule a meeting - this allows you to set up a meeting in the future which can be just one or an ongoing series of meetings.
 * Join by Number - This allows to you join a scheduled meeting. Note that you can only join a meeting 10 minutes prior to its' scheduled time.

Drop down menu at top of Webex page
There is a menu at the top of a meeting page after you have joined a meeting.
 * It is only accessed when you move your mouse to the top of the meeting page at which time it will "drop down" to reveal itself.
 * When you move the mouse away, it will disappear again at the top of the page.
 * Access this drop down menu and click on "Participants" and "Chat."

Participants
Here you will see a list of all participants who are in the meeting. Whenever anyone speaks, you will see little green waves coming off that name so you can know who is speaking.

Chat
You can also communicate by sending a message through the Chat box if you do not want to speak. You can either communicate to the whole group by choosing "Everyone" or to a particular individual.

Muting yourself
If you have problem with your microphone or some background noises you wish to keep the others from hearing you can mute yourself by clicking on the little microphone icon. However, if you want to speak, you have to unmute yourself.

Being the Presenter
The conductor or presenter of the meeting has control of the material that is seen on your monitor. You can tell who the presenter is by a little green ball by that name. By clicking "sharing Your Screen" the presenter can show you what is on their monitor.

Showing your screen
If you want to be a presenter, the ball has to be passed to you so you can choose to show your screen. You then control what the others in the meeting see on their monitors.

Recordings of past meetings

 * All meetings are recorded so you will be able to see and hear what transpired if you were unable to make a particular meeting.
