Conference call/Webinar etiquette cont.

The Mute button is your friend

● Become familiar with it’s location. If you begin to cough or sneeze. Use the Mute button

● Do not use the hold button as this will often play unwanted music while participants wait.

● Participants should leave the mute button on until they speak. ● This will ensure that noise around your area does not interrupt the

presentation● Use headset and speaker if on VOIP, don’t rely on laptop mic/speakers● When speaking, give your name so people know who is talking.
