Unassigned speaker

3:00

And

Speaker 1

3:00

here's another mic for you just in case.

3:52

Um the directions that worked on my old Mac Like laptop to um, a bunch of stuff, too.

4:05

So one of those things.

6:30

And thank you for coming in earlier, Simon.

Speaker 2

6:36

Oh, no, no problem.

6:38

I it's always good to have a little extra time uh

Unassigned speaker

6:42

to

Speaker 2

6:43

sort everything

Unassigned speaker

6:44

out.

Unassigned speaker

6:45

Yeah,

Speaker 1

6:45

we'll have a debrief.

6:46

I think I'm gonna change the call time for these meetings.

Speaker 2

6:50

Yeah, because if there's just one issue with um the tech over here, then you know this would

Unassigned speaker

6:56

be more.

Unassigned speaker

6:57

But I

Speaker 2

6:57

think we have everything set so far.

7:00

Uh we're streaming, we're recording audio videos, good.

7:05

Um just gotta wait for everyone to join in, and the uh the one attendee watching is the CC laptop, just FYI.

7:12

Uh so you

Unassigned speaker

7:13

know.

Speaker 1

7:14

Yeah, I figured that out.

Speaker 2

7:15

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1

7:16

I was like, Oh, there she's there.

7:17

Oh, that's probably C laptop and over the CC and

Unassigned speaker

7:21

all.

Speaker 2

7:21

Exactly, yeah, exactly.

7:22

And we know that works, which is good.

7:24

Um then I have the email locked and loaded.

7:29

Uh, if there's any issues there.

Unassigned speaker

9:55

Um, 'cause I remember I had issues with it as well, trying to find the email.

Speaker 2

10:02

My only guess

Unassigned speaker

10:03

is

Speaker 2

10:05

um the Microsoft emails have been marked as spam or blocked because over the years they send you a lot of stuff you don't

Unassigned speaker

10:14

want.

Speaker 2

10:15

Um so that just kind of adds into the fold.

10:20

Um so I think Sally, the best thing is to do the personal email with everyone.

Speaker 1

10:27

Which still may be an issue because I did it from Go Studio too.

Speaker 2

10:32

Um, as long as we have access to it and it's a unique email.

10:36

Um the title is clear, like, oh, this is your link for the meeting.

10:43

Um

Unassigned speaker

10:44

that

Speaker 2

10:44

should be good enough.

10:45

People were very responsive last time when I sent them.

10:48

Okay.

10:48

And then when they had issues, they would email replying that email and then I respond.

10:53

Um

Speaker 1

10:55

I just got I think I just got an email.

Unassigned speaker

11:02

Yeah,

Speaker 1

11:03

okay.

11:03

So Sandra says she's trying she got it, thank you.

11:07

So she is referring to Brenton's.

11:12

So she may end up using the phone.

Speaker 2

11:17

Okay.

Speaker 1

11:18

Because I think that is you can log in as an attendee and raise your hand by going through the town's website to be transferred to presenter, or you and use I think he meant, or you can use the information down below and sign in using your phone.

11:36

Okay.

Unassigned speaker

11:39

Okay.

Speaker 1

11:40

And I think we can just move her over the same way on a phone.

11:45

Um I believe.

11:48

I think we should did that.
