Everyone that visits our livestream during the demo day, can go to the breakout rooms to discover more about our projects. Let's welcome them by being an excellent host
During the breakout sessions, the whole team is present in the breakout room to welcome visitors, show off their work and answer questions (just like in a live edition where they'd come to your booth!).
During the demo day you won't not roam around, only visitors will (to make sure we do not overload the servers). The team is present the assigned breakout waiting for their visitors.
This is a chance for you to present yourself to future employers, meet like-minded people and to show people what you've made. Use it as an opportunity 😊
During the first breakout room test it was clear this job can get quite heavy; so you can definitely split up tasks over your team members and coach(es)!
Pick a Noise & Troll Moderator
Make sure one person in your team is in the breakout room first to become the moderator. This will give you the opportunity to turn off people's mics, hide them or kick them.
You'll see this message appear.
Tip: You can already go there when the streaming event starts, so you have the chance to chase out the trolls.
Keep Down the Noise
If everybody starts talking at the same time, you're gonna have a bad time. Only the person speaking should have their microphone on, on their turn. Your team members can manage their own microphone.
Start Off Quiet
You can make sure everyone starts out muted in the settings menu option to prevent starting off noisy.
Manage people's noise
If someone forgets to mute themselves after they've just spoken, you can mute them by clicking the three dots bottom left of their name.
However, if one person is speaking, and several other people are noisy, you can mute everyone else but this person.
If you're speaking and people are noisy, you can mute everyone 😇
Use it wisely 😏
Don't Feed the Trolls. Kick them.
But make sure you're not a troll yourself by using this power foolishly!
If the room exceeds 30 people, kindly send them a personal message that the room is full and refer them to one of the other 3 (or 4) rooms are available. Prepare a little text in advance, so you can easily copy-paste it ;-) If they will not leave by themselves, kick them!
Set the Stage
Make sure everyone knows what will happen during the breakout session; and what is expected of them. Prepare a slide to welcome everyone, and outline the rules.
If people are shy, you can add example questions to the chat!
Share your contact details in the end! Network mode 🔥
