Joining an Online Living Room Conversation
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
The quality of our conversations depends on three things:
- The group following the guide and conversation agreements
- Your attitude as a respectful and curious participant
- The variety of viewpoints from which we can learn
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Choose a quiet location with a reliable Internet connection and few interruptions or background noise. It can be your living room, or office, or kitchen, or other location.
- Connect to the video call through the link provided in your confirmation or reminder email. Follow the prompts to download the software, connect via computer video and audio. You CAN opt out of the video, but we’d really like to see your face! It can add so much to the experience!
- Please join the video call five minutes early. If the microphone and video icons in the lower-left corner have a red line over them, click on them to unmute and show your video. We want to see and hear you!

- Bring the two-page conversation guide and something to jot down notes. Your host will guide you through the conversation using this guide.
