Accessibility

We aim to make our webinars as accessible as possible. You are free to participate as little or as much as you feel comfortable - talk, join in the text chat, stim, bring your pets along, or just watch and listen with your camera on or off.

We currently use Eventbrite and Zoom as tools to enable us to run these online groups. They do have pros and cons and can be a bit stressful to navigate sometimes, so please allow yourself plenty time to get logged in before the group starts - it's fine to join a bit early as you'll just see a virtual 'waiting room' screen until the group starts and the host lets everyone in at once.

When registering to attend, please do use the name you feel most comfortable - this does not need to match your ID or other documents.

Remember to check when joining the meeting that your zoom screen name also matches the name you wish to use in the group. You have control to change that to the name you want and also to add your pronouns if you want to - you can change this in your zoom account settings any time, but you will not be able to change it in the meeting.

Closed Captions are available in all meetings and you can control whether you want see them or not during the meeting.

If you have any questions or need any help accessing this online session, please get in touch: info@swanscotland.org
