WEBEX MEETING
USING YOUR PHONE TO JOIN THE MEETING: To join the meeting by calling in via phone, dial 1-408-418-9388 and follow the instructions. You will need the 10-digit meeting number/access code discussed above. After entering the 10-digit meeting number/access code, press the # button. When the audio continues with instructions, just press the # button again, as you will not be the host and we do not have a meeting ID number. You will then be joined to the meeting once it has started. When joining by phone, if you want to ask a question during Bible study, press *3 to "raise" your hand. The administrator will "lower" your hand and unmute you when you are called on to speak. Do not use the mute button on your phone's dial pad to mute/unmute yourself, otherwise the administrator will not be able to mute or unmute you during Bible study. Instead, you will press *6 to mute and unmute yourself outside of Bible study (i.e., between Matins/Vespers and Bible study and during fellowship.) The administrator will only control your muting during services and Bible study -- all other times you will control your muting.
INFORMATION ON MUTING: When you join the meeting, you will automatically be muted whether you are just calling in via your phone, or if you are joining online. Again, if calling in on your phone, do not use the mute button on your keypad -- use *6 to mute and unmute yourself outside of Bible study (i.e., between Matins/Vespers and Bible study, and during fellowship). The administrator will only control your muting during services and Bible study -- all other times you will control your muting. Just remember to be considerate of the fact that when you keep yourself unmuted, any noises coming from your end of the line (i.e., talking or other noises around you) will affect (interrupt) other persons who may be speaking. Also, keep in mind that the speaker at the church is turned up to maximum, since we have people who are hard of hearing. Therefore, what you may consider normal level of speech on your end comes across very loud on our end. Accordingly, the best practice is to keep yourself muted until you want to say something to the group -- either by using the mute button when joining online, or pressing *6 when using your phone. However, another option when joining online is to just use your spacebar for muting/unmuting. As long as you press and hold down your spacebar, you are unmuted. Once you release the spacebar, you are once again muted.
Instructions on Joining Webex Meeting
Note: The instruction documents below are in a Dropbox account.

Downloading and Installing Webex App and Joining a Meeting via the App
You must use the Webex app if you want to join the meeting online. You do not need the app if you are calling in via your cell phone or landline phone. There are instructions on how to download and install the app on a Mac or Windows computer, and then how to join the meeting. You must know if your Mac has an Intel chip or an Apple chip before downloading the applicable file. Also, on Windows, you must know if your computer is a 64 bit or 32 bit system. If you do not know how to find this information, click on the appropriate button below to see those instructions. Also, click on the appropriate button to see instructions for downloading and installing the app on a Mac or Windows computer. If any problems or questions, contact the Administrator at admin@saintlukekenai.com for assistance.
To join a meeting from the Webex website without downloading and installing an app, the process is basically the same on a Mac as well as a PC running Windows 11.
