[HumanSer] participating virtually in convention, anyone know if its possible tomorrow

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi again,
I am glad today's stream worked fine for me to participate virtually when I could.
Jamelle, zoom is not connecting as it does for other meetings; I am guessing  this is since it’s a webinar. 
You have to navigate a form field when you enter to write your name in it. 

One more idea is to go to the NFB Youtube channel. This was easiest for me to access because you navigate it like a standard website. 
You do not have to navigate the zoom software or remember zoom commands doing it this way.
On the Youtube page, the NFB live stream is the first link titled 
2023 National Convention  General session VI.
When you click on the link or press enter on your keyboard, the video stream opens for watching, and opens the page.
Then press alt f 4 to close the Youtube page when you are finished.

The Youtube site is www.youtube.com/nationsblind/

HTH,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I haven't had any trouble joining using my computer.  I'm sorry you've been having trouble.
