TIPS FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE

Make sure YOU NEED A STRONG INTERNET CONNECTION. You may need to be closer to where the router is located within your house.

Make sure that YOU HAVE MUTED YOUR MICROPHONE. This will allow to have a better sound your end. You can of course pair your device to an external speaker or use an external speaker with your computer or laptop. This will allow you to adjust the sound volume to your liking!! You can also cast your iphone, ipad, laptop or computer to your smart TV, this may give you a larger picture. This is not something that I have tried but please feel free to try it and let me know how you get on.

I really want to see your beautiful smiles however, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO TURN YOUR CAMERA OFF which may help your internet connection to run faster. If you join with video then everyone can say hello and see you. My image will always be there for you to see. You can PIN the IMAGE as your main screen (but different devices have different ways of doing it, please experiment to find what works best for you).

I have done everything I can my end to provide you with the best quality sound and image. There will be times when the powers of the internet let us down for whatever reason. For this I can only apologise. Please be patient and rejoin the meeting if you have any problem.
