Zoom Etiquette

  • Come on time
  • Share respectfully and equally
  • Pause, so others can talk/write
  • If two people talk at the same time, it’s hard to understand
  • Keep the mute button on
  • If there is noise in the background, please mute
  • Use your video (optional, if you feel comfortable)
  • We would love to see your face
