- The last part of the workshop will include a review session where you will be able to present your work through Google Hangout or MCU #1, depending on the number of people participating.
Connecting to the Hangout
For the review sessions we will use Google Hangout, make sure you have an hd webcam and an appropriate internet connection. We will connect and test the video 10 minutes before the beginning of the review session. If you want to be part of the review session please write us on the Slack channel.
Connecting to the MCU
We will use this option if the Hangout overflows (more than 10 people). To connect to the MCU the best client is Cisco Spark available for free after a registration. You can also use the Web version on the latest version of Firefox
When you have installed the client, click on the phone icon and call
You will be in the Fab Lab channel where we'll host the review.
