Introduction to Town Hall Management
In this section, we will explore the concept of a town hall meeting, which can be managed by multiple individuals, but often requires a single organizer to coordinate and present. This video focuses on how to effectively start and manage your town hall meeting independently.
Accessing Your Town Hall
To begin, you need to be the event organizer. You can access your town hall meeting through your Teams or Outlook calendar. Once you enter the event, you will see the number of participants connecting to the town hall at the top of the screen.
Managing Participant Experience
As participants join, they will see a notification indicating that the meeting has not yet started. It's important to note that activating your camera does not automatically broadcast your video to the audience. To share your video, click on the three dots and select 'Show on Screen' to ensure it is visible to all attendees.
Switching Camera Angles
If your setup includes multiple camera angles, you can switch between them by clicking on 'Switch Camera.' This feature allows for a more dynamic presentation, enhancing the viewer's experience.
Sharing Content
To share documents or other content during your town hall, click on 'Share' and select the desired content. The document will open in the foreground, allowing participants to view it clearly. A small control screen will appear at the bottom right of your screen, which you can click to return to the management interface.
Starting the Meeting
At this point, your town hall has not yet started. To initiate the meeting, click on 'Start Meeting.' Be cautious, as once the event is launched, you cannot stop it. If you need to restart, you will have to end the meeting and launch it again. A warning message will appear before starting your event.
Reviewing Your Town Hall
To review your town hall meeting, log in as an anonymous participant to your own meeting. This allows you to see the event from the attendees' perspective.
Ending the Meeting
To conclude your town hall, simply click on 'End Meeting.' A recording of the session will be available and can be published for participants to access later.
