You can also access just using your Web Browser. Personally, I think the call quality is better through the app, but it is something new and some will prefer the phone option.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">For all these services, it is important to be on mute when you are not speaking. The presenter will provide instructions on unmuting to be heard. Additionally, just like in-person Federation meetings, please preface your comments by stating your name and being recognized by the organizer before speaking.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Please note: Since so many people are using conference services across the entire American population, it is smart to connect a few minutes in advance.
