Meetings are hosted at MTNG.US

Quick Interface Overview

Speaker/Host

Start a Meeting With Screen Sharing

• Go to https://mtng.us/

• Choose a name for your meeting/lecture (e.g. MAT123)

• Allow microphone:

• Click "I am the host" and log in with your Jitsi mtng.us shortname

• Open the settings

• Give yourself the name HOST

• Check all boxes then press 'ok'

• Click Security Options screen icon (bottom right corner) and set a meeting access password

• Click share screen icon (bottom left corner)

• Choose whole screen or only one window. Click on the window, then click share

• Share the link with your attendees (copy from "Invite People" window)

  • All attendees will join with their microphone muted and camara off by default
  • Attendees will see what you see. (Since we've checked the checkbox "Everyone follows me" in the settings above)

• On the right side you see a pannel for each attendee. If you click on the three vertical dots, a menu opens where you can mute or kick the attendee out of the meeting (there is no way to unmute an attendee, they must do that themselves)

Attendee Interactions (Questions)

• Any attendee can press the hand button to ask for attention (raise hand)

• You will see a popup notification and also a hand symbol on the pannel of the attendee who raised their hand:

• you can now orally ask that attendee to turn on their microphone and ask their question.
  • If you hover over the pannel of the attendee you can see his/her full name.
• Afterwards the attendee should click the hand button again to lower his/her hand.

Trouble Shooting

Your Screen Sharing Disappears

• If your screen sharing disappears, click the rectalngle in top right corner. Don't click in the middle of the rectangle but close to the border. (If you click in the middle you rename yourself)
