Contribution session is held as a Zoom Meeting, however it works on the basics of “Breakout Rooms”, where one Breakout Room represents one topic.
To join the Contribution Virtual Room by topic:
- Use the Zoom app and make sure that it is updated to the latest version.
- Click on the “BreakoutRooms” button at the bottom of your screen.
- Choose the Contribution Topic of your choice and click the “Join" button.
- To switch to another room, click again to the “BreakoutRooms” button.
- If a popup message appears while you are in a room saying you have 120 sec to leave your room, don't panic, it just means our team is adding a new topic/breakout room. Do not leave your room!
