  2. The slides currently projected on the projector in the session room and;
  3. A video feed from the session room.
 

Chat Room Details

Use the chat room to interact with the other participants. The Meetecho interface embeds the IETF WG Jabber room so you can interact with attendees using regular Jabber clients as well. If you want to start a private conversation with one of the participants, click on the Participants button above the chat room and double click on the name of the person you want to talk to.
 

Video Feed Details 

The current slide being projected and one or more video feeds coming from the room. If your browser is configured with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the speaker feeds will appear above the slides rather than on their right.

If you see a hand icon to the right of your name, you can enter the virtual queue by clicking on the hand. When it’s your turn, your audio will be streamed into the session room for attendees to hear.
NOTE: if you do not see a hand icon to the right of your name, it means that this option is not available for your particular session.

When your turn comes, green icons tell you you're streaming audio and video. You can release the floor by clicking on the hand icon again.
