Webinar Telephone?

Off-Topic
1

Hi,
I am booked for a Xojo webinar tomorrow, and a microphone (or telephone) was mentioned.

Why on earth do I need a microphone, or telephone, to watch a webinar video?
Do I have to sing or something at some stage??

Thanks.

To ask questions I would presume

I thought Webinars were just live videos of a professional explaining techniques etc.

I didn’t realise that viewers could ask questions? Surely if the Webinar giver is explaining something - allowing viewers to suddenly start talking would be a recipe for disaster?

Oh well, guess I will find out tomorrow?

I don’t think there’s been a webinar that was open to participation other than typed questions. No singing required. You’ll be on mute, thankfully :wink:

Gavin - that’s what I mean.
I understand typed questions, but I have no idea why a mic or telephone was spoken about???

@Paul Lefebvre doesn’t allow audio questions or comments but it’s a feature in GoToWebinar. The emails are generated by GoToWebinar so they mention this option. Paul does of course encourage typed questions!

Ahhh - thanks Alyssa.
I was worried about my singing voice for a moment :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Well, he doesn’t allow spoken questions, but if you are going to sing them I’m pretty sure he’ll make an exception. These webinars are recorded for posterity, after all.

Coolio.
I’ll start limbering up my hemorrhoids Adenoids :slight_smile:

Absolutely. I’ll be looking for you, Richard!

Limbering up at this very moment - only 2 hours.

“Sad Face - Angry Face - Sad Face - Angry Face”
At least I think these are the exercises for warming up one’s voice???

Will it be ok if I wear my smoking jacket and Cravat ?

Is there another way to sing pragmatic programming questions?

14

Not really, but I didn’t want to make all the others feel inadequate.
Plus the fact that I normally get strange looks when I wear them whilst shopping?

I have no idea why people are so judgemental nowadays ???

Now if only I could find my yellow, crushed-velvet hush puppies???
