Housekeeping [Access & Inclusion]

XR meetings are run rather differently, due to our culture, and ideally all sessions ought to begin with Housekeeping - an explanation of meetings culture. If this is not possible, e.g. for reasons of timing, the points should be clearly displayed on a slide, or posted in chat, for everyone to read. Having said that, the key access/inclusivity points ought to be dealt with by the presenter.

Renaming

Invite participants to change their Zoom name to reflect their given name / preferred pronouns / location.
Check they know how.

Access

Safe space

Hand Signals

Explain the basic hand signals to use during your session or show this slide. You may not need them all, depending e.g. on the subject of your session or the experience of the attendees. 

See this diagram for examples: Hand Signals.jpg

If participants don’t have a camera.

Explain using the Reactions button for hand signals - one hand for general help/Q and thumbs up for Yay!/OK!
