WEBINAR TRAINING: Melco University Online Training
What is a Webinar:
Webinars are short for web-based seminars where you can view the presentation through your web browser and listen to the audio through your telephone - from your home or office! A key feature of a webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. All you need is a phone and a PC with access to the web - no special software is required to participate. It is not required, but if you have access to a 2nd monitor - it is nice to watch the presentation on one screen while working on your software application on the other screen.
To successfully participate in a Live Melco Webinar:
- Register for the Webinar 24 hours in advance.
- After you have registered for your webinar, you will receive an email invitation from Melco (usually the day before the event)
- In the email there is a link listed after “To join the meeting" - click on this link to connect you to the meeting
- Type in your name and click on "Enter Room"
- Dial the 800 number listed in the email to join the audio portion (you do not need a pass code)
- You will now be in the webinar room and we will do the rest
Webinar Hints - some upfront planning and preparation can make your webinar experience so much better.
- Register early - there are physical limitations on how many particapants can join a webinar
- Give yourself some lead time
- Connect to the session 8 - 10 minutes before it starts
- Dial into the 800 line 5 minutes early
- Use a high speed internet connection - dial up is painfully slow!
- Actively participate in the session
- In the event that Melco has Internet technical difficulties - a makeup session will be re-scheduled
