Re: How to optimise Host view on Zoom
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýSharan, it is certainly a mind-bender to track everything at once. ?I facilitated a 6 1/2 hour online planning workshop yesterday. ?For the last 40 years, all of my revenue generating activity has been face-to-face (training, facilitation, Emceeing, keynoting). ?I didn¡¯t get much sleep the night before, got up early with my adrenal glands pumping at full capacity and had to deal with a problem I thought I'd resolved the previous evening. Getting started (especially with the new Zoom protocols) was a heart-pounding experience (okay, perhaps I may be stretching things a bit for the story value). ?However, by the end of the Zoomathon, I was actually enjoying it. ?The most challenging part was monitoring the chat line; however, I suggested to the group that I would take a thorough look when they were in breakout groups (which I used liberally) and if it was urgent, to please text me. ?There were just 22 participants¡ªnot sure how much of this would transfer to a much larger group¡ªin that case having a co-host (or several that each have their own focus) would be very helpful. Looking back, I think that keeping my expectations of myself low, while providing the best service possible to my client (we were all doing this for the first time together) turned out to be helpful. Some of the experiments I included in the design (again, would not all translate to a larger group) included:
I realize none of the above helped me with the need to multi-task as you described below. ?Nevertheless, they made me feel a little more relaxed in dealing with everything that was going on with Zoom!
