Fab labs are connected through a videoconferencing system. All you need to connect is a modern browser like Firefox or Chrome. The videoconference can be accessed at http://meet.fablabs.io or https://bluejeans.com/u/fablab/3576/ or https://bluejeans.com/572940196/3576.
There are desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as for IOS and Android devices which can be downloaded here https://www.bluejeans.com/downloads. The conference details are:
- Conference number: 572940196
- PIN code: 3576
In you have a poor bandwidth or no internet access at all, you can still connect to the videoconference (audio only) by dialling one of the land line numbers found here https://www.bluejeans.com/numbers and entering the following details using the keypad:
- Conference number: 572940196
- PIN code: 3576
At the top right corner there is a settings button where you can select the camera and microphone you will be using as well as the speakers.
Before you enter the videoconference, always remember to mute locally. That way your microphone does not send audio to the server. Remember also to mute locally when you are not talking.
Exercise: Looking at your system settings/sound/input panel, find your mute/unmute key and practice muting and unmuting locally.
By default, you are also muted in the room. That is a second layer mute for people who constantly forgets to mute locally. After you make sure you are muted locally, make sure you are also unmuted on the room.
Exercise: Connect to videoconference. Make sure you are muted locally. Talk to someone and practice muting locally when you are not talking.
You can modify the layout (size of the video vs size of the presentation) using the slider.
Exercise: Connect to videoconference and practice modifying the layout screen.
For your personal or group meetings you can connect to a similar service as BlueJeans called https://meet.jit.si/
