LV-EM Open Forum Telecon - Thursday, May 23, 2019 @14:00 UTC

• Using the free TeamSpeak software: Download from here and install the software, preferably in advance. Please use headphones (simple phone earbuds/mic work well) or an anti-echo USB speakerphone (Jabra, Phoenix, Sennheiser, etc.) At the beginning of the telecon, connect to the server at zam.mit.edu and use the password la$er. Please find the microphone symbol at the top, 3rd from the left, and click on it to mute -- it starts with the microphone 'live'. (Note to LVC members: this is not the usual LVC telecon server.) Once you are connected to the server, stay on "Open LVEM Towm Meeting" channel. For more details and usage advice, see TeamSpeakInfo.
• Telephone: Dial the access numbers 1-800-704-9804 (toll free in the US; possibly accessible toll-free via skype from outside the US too) and internationally 1-404-920-6604 with participant code 8295093# . To mute/unmute your line, press 6. However, we strongly recommend that you use TeamSpeak, to allow to follow chat and to 'raise your hand' for questions/comments.
• Please note this telecon, agenda, and minutes are not password-protected.
