I recently had an experience using Zoom's Large Meeting Add-On for the first time. A couple of things were not intuitive, so I'm sharing them here! I have an individual Zoom Meeting account with annual subscription and a limit of 100 participants. First, it was super easy to add the Large Meeting feature on a monthly basis. Through the Account Management / Billing, I could see my account details and the options for "Available Add-Ons." You can add a Large Meeting Add-On to increase a meeting limit to either 500 or 1000 participants. It was easy to add this to my cart and make the payment. 500 participants is $50/month. Bonus - the monthly fee was pro-rated as I added this midway through the billing month. So my cost was only $22! However, the challenge was integrating this new capacity to my account - and I could find very little in the Zoom Help about this... Even after paying for the Add-On, my User Profile continued to show a 100-person limit. Here's what I had to do: Go to User Management - Select User - Edit User to select the Large Meeting Feature. This adds the Large Meeting capability to my user profile and makes it possible for me, as User, to use the feature. Once selected, this then changed my User Profile from 100 participants to 500 participants With this done, I was able to successfully run the large meeting! And when I cancelled the Large Meeting Add-On (as I only needed it for 2 meetings in November), the capacity continued to be available for the balance of the billing month. I hope this experience is helpful! Michael Michael Randel ** Based in Washington D.C, supporting organizations globally! ** W: (202) 656-3796 C: (202) 365-4238 www.RCAChangeAdvisors.com michael@...

Hello all, Our client is proposing a set of blended face-to-face/ zoom workshops for participants from two different countries. Their idea is to bring the participants from one country together in a room with a big screen, and have the participants from the other country: Either come together in another room with a big screen, and connect via Zoom Or each dial in to Zoom individually The facilitator will dial in from her computer. A representative from the client will be present in the room (or rooms) where several people come together, and act as co-facilitator. I would appreciate some advice here from people who have done something similar, with particular attention to the following questions for both case A and case B: How to establish effective communication between participants from the two countries? How to organise group work between people from the two countries without interference? While these are the questions I could think of, you may know of questions I am forgetting to ask. Thank you very much for any tips and tricks you may have! Pete Sparreboom Digital Catalyser – Director, PHB Academy Whatsapp: +33 677 817563 Skype: petesparreboom www.phbdevelopment.com

Hi all, I am one of the co-chairs for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT)'s Annual Conference next year. We will hold it remotely in June and are looking for proposals for support in putting on an event unlike what any of us have done before. Many of us are very skilled at facilitating in person and have very clear ideas about what we want out of a digital experience - we just aren't 100% certain about how to get there. The planning team is hoping to get a few proposals from experts in online facilitation that brings together human connection, learning, excitement, etc. for groups of 500 - 1000 (which is where our attendance usually falls). If you are someone like that, and you'd be interested in putting together a proposal, will you please reach out to me? Thanks! Karen -- Karen Rayne, PhD, CSE Executive Director

Hello! A training company that I work with needs an experience virtual trainer who has experience in Pharma sales. The company needs a couple days training in DEC - if you are interested or know someone who is, please reach out to me and I'll make the introductions. I have worked with this company for 8 years and would give them a FIVE STAR PLUS rating. Thanks, Elana

Hi there, Does anyone has experience with doing an Open Space in Teams? For example, let's say my client only sends out one link from the organization as the plenary. Can I prepare different links from my own accont (as external member) as break-out rooms? This way I do not have to 'bother' the organization in creating more links and can still have people go to different rooms? Thanks in advance for your tips and tricks :)

Hi everyone, Are you currently hosting zoom meetings? Did you know the latest version of zoom has new capabilities for break out rooms and presenting to name a few? Are you keen to practice the latest features in Zoom with a group of facilitators? If yes, please join a free event I created to do just that! Register here! Looking forward to testing and trialing October 30th, 10am Pacific time. Best, Michelle -- Michelle Laurie michellelaurie.com Strategy-Assessment-Engagement-Faciltation

Hello everyone! I was sure that someone had started or shared a table analyzing the features of different online platform alternatives to Zoom. I can’t seem to find it now after doing a search. Does such a magical thing exist or am I just dreaming? Thank you!!

Dear facilitators, Has anyone used a greeter for larger meetings online? A client has suggested using the main zoom room as a 'greeting' room and then people go to a breakout for the plenary sessions. She would then stay in the main room to guide people who come late. I have never done this but I am curious if you have. If so, anything I should be aware of? As the plenary sessions will then have some breakouts, I am wondering how I would do breakouts if people are already in a 'breakout' room. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. As well, if anyone is interested in testing and trialing with different versions of zoom + different devices, there are a few us playing with this 9-10am PDT tomorrow, November 6th. Email me for the zoom link if you are keen. Best, Michelle -- Michelle Laurie michellelaurie.com Strategy-Assessment-Engagement-Faciltation

Dear Catherine and all, I initiated such an assessment in spring, it has been growing quickly but is a little outdated by now. You are cordially invited to use it and to update it/ complement it with your knowledge and experiences! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rmRSMklCKrPcq7BXfKkVrH5v3aixsYOoDI_hm8WOVrA/edit?usp=sharing Ruth Mag.a Ruth Picker, E.MA Organisationsberatung Prozessbegleitung Coaching Kinderspitalg.4/13, 1090 Wien 0676/ 7346689 www.ruthpicker.at skype: ruth.picker4

Facilitating Group Participation - Blended Learning 7 week program When: Monday, 11 January 2021 2:00pm to Friday, 5 March 2021 2:00pm (UTC-05:00) America/New York Where: Online via learning Management System and Zoom Organizer: Dougherty, Inc Facilitation Training laurie@... 8159702145 Description: Learn how to create productive and engaging meetings that people want to attend! Learn, practice, and reflect on over 21 facilitation listening skills. Learn to develop purpose driven agendas. Average employees attend 62 meetings per month. 35-50% of managers time is spent in meetings. 25-50% of meetings are poor. Additional meetings are held to resolve issues again, and again... Planning and executing an effective meeting takes time, knowledge, and practice. Employees are fearful of practicing new meeting techniques in the workplace. During this online course, the participants can practice online meeting facilitation with their peers in a safe environment. Use every tool possible to make the most of your meetings Wasted meeting time contributes to lower job satisfaction, negative job attitudes, higher intentions to quit, lower meeting attendance and diminished effort. This course includes an eBook copy of the Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision Making, authored by the world's leading expert on collaboration, Sam Kaner. We will breakdown, practice, and explore the aspects of facilitating participatory meetings. Studies show that participation in meetings is related positively to performance and greater commitment to carry out out action decided at meetings. Participation in meetings contributes to employees feeling valued for their contributions and employees feeling included in the organization in a meaningful way. Achieving the highest level of employee engagement requires the participants to have both technological and socio-emotional support. This support will result in increasing engagement in work activities. Building effective connections, on a human level, increases the development of employee engagement. Fostering higher levels of employee engagement produces higher quality outcomes. Highly engaged employees are more committed to organizational success with stronger ties to team members. Workplace meetings are a powerful tool to achieve employee engagement. Employees that participate in meetings improve performance and engage in the decision making process. They feel safe in providing ideas, inventive thinking, and decisions without negative consequences. What does the course include? State of the art learning platform accessible via mobile or computer 7 online 90-minute meetings - each practicing a new method or tool (optional - recorded for later viewing) Recorded online meetings for playback at anytime Opportunities to facilitate break-out meetings weekly New topics each week Individual coaching and mentoring for your particular meeting challenges Access to course for 90-days after course completion date Certificate of completion Small learning groups of 20 maximum Group online discussions and reflections of practice What can I expect as a participant? The more you participate the more you get out of the course. This is an interactive, engaging course. You should expect to spend: 2-3 hours of reading weekly Weekly posting and reading discussions 90 minute weekly online meeting or playback of recorded meeting Additional practice of newly acquired skills, on your own, to share with the group Still have more questions?

In the last few weeks, since the course ended, I used the skills I learned in every single meeting I participate and lead." Tyler "I learned quite a lot and love the book. It is a great resource for me to go back to." Stefania "I loved the sections on agendas and chart writing." Tara " This course has been valuable to my personal and work growth.

Hi, Has someone found a community chat service where members of a community can post information and which translates from one language to another language using AI? (like Facebook translates posts but I am determined to avoid Facebook!) Looking forward to reading your ideas, research, thoughts... ! Warm wishes, Louise

Hi there! Does anyone know of a platform like this - Almanac? It allows for more robust collaborative editing than you find in GDocs or Word. I am working with an INGO network with 250 members, mostly in the EU and SE Asia. They need to collaboratively comment on and edit their strategic framework, and have a fast turnaround time for the final version. Almanac looks like it will be the perfect solution, but it is not accessible yet. Anything else out there?? Thanks!
