The discussion portion of Town Meeting will be held remotely this year via Zoom. It is important that everyone has a chance to participate. To help make this happen, the Town will have a practice Zoom session on Saturday February 20th from 9 a.m. to noon. This is a chance to make sure you know how to connect to Zoom, how to mute and unmute yourself and how to raise your hand in a remote meeting. Please join us for this quick practice session (you only need 5 minutes or so) and we look forward to 'seeing' you for the Informational Hearing on the 27th.

Participation
In order to participate you need to be able to perform two simple operations:
Mute/Unmute – in a large meeting it is important that those not speaking are 'muted' to control background noise. If you are connected via computer, smartphone or tablet you can use the microphone symbol in the lower left corner of your screen to toggle mute/unmute. On a phone use *6 to toggle between mute/unmute.
Raise/lower hand – in order to be recognized by the moderator of the meeting you need to raise your hand. If you are connected via computer, smartphone or tablet, the Raise Hand icon is at the bottom of the Participants screen. Press the Participants button on the bottom of your screen. Press the icon to raise and lower your hand. On a phone use *9 to raise your hand. Unfortunately there is no way to lower you hand on a phone if your question has already been answered.
Zoom meeting mechanics -- If you are unfamiliar with Zoom meetings, you have several video options. You may view only the video of the person who is speaking by using the "Speaker" option on your video control (at the top of your screen), or you may use the "Gridview" option to see as many participants as your screen can display. Please be aware that if your camera is on, you are broadcasting your image and your background, even if you do not see yourself on your screen. Consider yourself as "out in public" when your camera is on.
