      Joining a Broadcast via Laptop or Desktop

      How to participate in a Stage TEN broadcast on a laptop or desktop. What you need, how to prepare before you join the broadcast and how to join the broadcast.

      WHAT YOU NEED:

      • A Laptop or Desktop (the newer the better - the minimum RAM should be 4GB)
      • Make sure your computer is powered / plugged in throughout the broadcast.
      • Internet Access (always ethernet > Wi-Fi connection, min 10Mbps upload speed)
      • A webcam, microphone and headphones (or a headset with a mic attached)
      • The LATEST version of Google Chrome 
      • If you already have Chrome, open it and use these steps to update: 
      • At the top left, click Chrome > About Google Chrome > Update

      HOW TO PREPARE BEFORE YOU JOIN THE BROADCAST:

      • Consider your lighting. Natural light (from a window) is a great option. Always light yourself from the front (never from behind)
      • Position your webcam at eye level (rather that above or below)
      • Look into the webcam when participating in the broadcast
      • Use a more interesting background (rather than a blank wall behind you)

      HOW TO JOIN THE BROADCAST:

      • Select the invitation link that’s been sent to you
      • Close ALL other Chrome tabs and any other programs  
      • Enter your name (so the director can identify you) and accept terms & conditions
      • Select ‘Camera and Mic’

      NOW WHAT?:

      • See your Participant Status in the top left corner:
      • Communicate with the director and your fellow participants here:
      • Have a great conversation and have fun!
