En:Webinars via teams

Thanks to Microsoft Teams, you no longer have to travel to Mainz for any training, but can take part in a seminar or demo from the comfort of your own home.

Taking part in a webinar is straightforward and to make sure nothing goes wrong, we have explained how to set it up below.

Before the online training/ webinar

1) If you have decided to take part in one of our webinars, we will first confirm the date by e-mail.

2) To participate in the webinar, you will receive an invitation link from us, which you will receive at the earliest one day before the webinar and at the latest on the morning of the webinar.

3) When you click on the access link, a new window will open. If you already have Teams pre-installed on your device, a pop-up window will automatically appear showing you the “Open now” button.

If you do not have Teams installed, you can download the application from the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoft-teams/download-app#desktopAppDownloadregion

Participate without a download

Of course, it is not mandatory to install Teams on your desktop. If you do not want to install Teams, you can use the second option (Open Teams with Microsoft Edge - without download) to gain access to the webinar. You will first be shown a pop-up window with “Select application”. As soon as you have clicked on this, the pop-up window with the button “Open now” will appear, which will take you to the webinar.

Participation

Einstellungen vor dem Beitritt

Once you have opened the link to the webinar and joined in your preferred way, the screen you can see here on the right will open.

Here you can make your initial settings for the microphone and camera.

Camera

Here you can adjust the settings as you feel most comfortable. Of course, the camera does not have to be switched on.

If you want to switch the camera on, which can lead to a more personal conversation in a one-to-one training session, but do not want to show the background, you can also make various settings here. You can replace the background with another image or simply blur it.

Microphone

Here, too, you have various options to choose from. You can participate without a microphone, with the computer's microphone or with a headset.

It is recommended that you participate with a microphone so that any questions can be asked quickly and easily without having to write them in the chat first. During the webinar, we ask that you mute the microphone, if you are participating with one, as this can prevent possible background noise.

Chat

If you do not have a microphone, you are welcome to use the chat function for questions and comments. When you are in the webinar, you will find the chat in the toolbar at the top left.
