==Meetings (Web Conferencing)==
 
 
Meetings (BigBlueButton) is a web conferencing tool available in Sakai that allows you to communicate with your students remotely. You can display presentations, use a white board, use audio and/or a webcam, chat with your students, add polls, and share your desktop. Meetings is a '''synchronous''' tool, which means users have to be online at the same time to interact. You can record your Meetings, and students can view the recordings in Sakai.

===More Details on Meetings===
 
 
 
====Meetings Basic Features====
 
For most of your meetings, you'll want to see who has arrived at the meeting, by viewing the User area; and you'll want to upload and display your presentation. If any of your students wants to "Listen only" or does not have a headset or speakers, you can communicate with each other by using the Chat box. If you want to record and share your Meeting, you have many options, provided you set up your meeting with the "Recording" feature.

====Meetings Intermediate Features====
 
Sometimes, you may want to use the whiteboard features, to draw on your presentation. Some instructors like to share their webcam with their students, and/or want their students to share their webcams, too. You may want to make a student a presenter, to give a report or oral presentation. Also, it can be helpful to use a different layout to emphasize different Meetings features.

====Meetings Advanced Interactive Features====
 
We strongly suggest that you practice these features before your meeting. You can provide ad-hoc polls, or update your presentation, to generate polls during your presentation. If you need to demonstrate an application, such as Word, Excel, or review content on a web site, you can share your screen with your students.
 
* '''Polls:''' You can create slides that generate polls or create polls on the fly during the meeting.
 
** If you're creating a poll "on the fly": Below the Presentation area; click on the plus icon, then select "Start a Poll".
 
*** Here are [https://support.blindsidenetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024977292-Use-polling- step-by-step instructions] for creating quick and custom polls during your meeting.
 
** Otherwise, before your meeting, you can create PowerPoint slides with Multiple Choice questions/answers (or True/False or Yes/No questions/answers).
 
*** Here are a [http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/10overview.html#polling number of screen shots] showing how to add slides that generate "automatic" polling at your Meeting.
 
*** When a slide contains a "poll" question/answers you've set up, at the bottom of the Presentation area, next to the plus icon, you'll see the Polling icon you can click on to start your poll.
