The discussion will be conducted via zoom

This event will take place over Zoom. Participants will receive a link for the zoom meeting 15 minutes in advance of the event. We would ask that attendees do not share this widely but we encourage anyone who is interested to register using Eventbrite in advance so they will receive the link themselves.

All attendees will be able to join the call but will be automatically muted by the host and will be unable to unmute without permission of the host. There will be an opportunity for all attendees to ask questions of the panel through the chat function. Attendees will be able to message the host to ask a question but these will not be visible to other attendees.

Virtual Background

Le Chéile will send you a virtual background that you can download and use for the meeting. Our aim is to ask people, if comfortable, to upload the virtual background to their Zoom account and at the end of the meeting we will take a picture of everyone who has the Zoom background on their account.

There are some steps below to help you to upload the virtual background but there are more guides here for different browsers and devices.
