NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF INDIANA

Focusing on Our Future!

State Convention 2020

October 9-10, 2020

NFB Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

NFB One Minute Message

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the

characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the

expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles

between blind people and our dreams. Live the life you want! Blindness is
not what holds you back!

ZOOM Conference Basics

The following tips will help you get the most from ZOOM Conference.

Telephone:

To mute or unmute your audio, press *6.

Note: during convention, all persons will be muted by default. You must
raise your hand to request the ability to speak.

If your name is mentioned as a winner of a door prize, you must raise your
hand to claim your prize.

To raise your hand to ask a question, or claim your door prize, press *9.

Always allow the host to lower your hand.

Windows Desktop or Laptop Computer:

Mute your microphone by pressing Alt+A or press spacebar on the mute audio
button.

to unmute, press Alt+A again or press the spacebar on the unmute button.

To raise your hand, press Alt+Y.

Always allow the host to lower your hand.

iPhone or iPad:

Tap on the settings button and look through the options to improve your
experience.

There are two buttons, meetings and general. Meetings has settings you
should review.

Auto connect to audio allows you to select connect to internet audio.

This gets rid of the prompt before you connect to a meeting and ensures you
get the best sound quality.

Always mute my microphone when joining a meeting ensures you are never
accidentally heard until you want to speak.

Then just double tap the unmute audio button when you have something to
contribute.

Always turn off my video ensures you never unintentionally show yourself or
your environment when you did not mean to.

Important: To prevent the annoyance of VoiceOver always speaking the names
of participants as they join and leave, turn off Show name when participants
join.

When connecting, you will get a prompt saying, "to hear others, please join
audio."

Select the "call using internet audio" option or go into settings and select
internet audio to always be automatically connected.

Important: Find and double tap the mute my audio button until you want to be
heard. Or go into settings and choose to always mute audio upon entry.

To raise your hand, tap on the more button on the far right, then double tap
the button to raise your hand. This will exit you to the main screen. Allow
the host to lower your hand.

To know who is currently speaking, swipe to the far left. It will say,
displaying person's name avatar.

You may want to use the earbuds that came with your iPhone.

Again, always make sure your microphone is muted when you are not speaking
to prevent creating noise or people hearing you
