ONLINE PLATFORM FOR ALL SESSIONS

Currently we are using Skype for all calls.
At the moment it seems more user friendly if you take a few moments to make a Skype account for successful connection to the sessions. You can join with an invite without having a Skype account but a couple of people have been experiencing issues.

Operating Details:

1. We will send an email invite (with the class link) weekly before each class. These links are a one time use. Please be mindful of using the new link each time, perhaps delete the old link emails once used to avoid confusion. These will be sent 1 hour before the start time for the lunch and evening classes. The night before for the morning sessions. Your invite emails will be titled as follows: Online Class: Day, Date - Time of Class

2. The video call will open 5/10 mins before the class starts so everyone can jump on and test everything. Do not try to dial in before the call is open.

3. There will be a couple of icons at the bottom of your screen: a microphone and a video camera if you hover over them it brings up testing options.

4. Make sure your computer is plugged in or has enough battery life to last the session. We don’t want you to accidentally drop out of the call.

5. Please do not ask questions or make comments during the class time frame. If you have questions these can be addressed at the end of the session or if there is time before the class starts. Let the teacher know through the chat window if you do have a question.

6. We will start on time. It is fine to join after the class has started and you can also leave early if you need just drop out of the call.

7. You can use the class links with or without a Skype account.
- If you have a Skype account: log in and search for us: At Work Yoga. Send us a wave and we will add you to our contact list so joining the class calls will be easy for you.
- If you do not have a Skype account: the link will take you to a browser webpage and you can sign in as a guest for the session. If you are having trouble signing in try a different browser, sometimes privacy or security settings on a browser can interrupt access. Read more here.
- If you have issues: please email us immediately. We are happy to set up a private call to work out any access problems.

Group Call Etiquette:

Things to keep in mind and do

1. Mute your mic when you enter the call, so that everyone only hears the teacher and not various sounds from your locations.

2. Test your speakers/audio before the class starts.

3. Turn your sound up nice and high so you can hear clearly.

4. You can choose to have your camera off if you prefer, it is very helpful to turn your cameras on so the teacher can provide better feedback and instruction.

5. Maximise the teachers image. To do this click on the centre of the teachers video feed and drag it to the centre of your screen. To take people off your main screen do the opposite click their image and drag them up into the top right hand corner of the skype screen and drop it.

6. If you are late please don’t talk. Mute quickly and catch up.

7. If for any reason you need to leave early just hangup the call when you are ready.

8. Importantly: Please do not record video or audio for any sessions there are real privacy and legal issues around recording people without their permission.

 

Other Details:

• At Work Yoga will ‘leave’ each call once it is finished. We suggest you do the same as this will delete the call from your skype chats list and keep everything clear and simple finding the right call to join next time.

• Check out everything Skype and create an account here. Having an account allows us to add you to the classes so that you can just log into skype and find each session. A little easier.

• Take a look at our Practise Tips here if you are new to yoga and morning sessions.

• If you have any further questions email us and we will sort everything out for you.
