Volunteers Needed for Zoom and Webinar Hosts, Co-Hosts, Chat Managers
Do you have experience hosting Zoom meetings for large or small groups? Would you like to use those skills to support Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, our resident lamas and other teachers? Please consider joining Ligmincha International's Zoom team volunteers.
We are looking for three to seven people to join our experienced team of Zoom meeting and webinar hosts, co-hosts and chat managers. This team ensures that Ligmincha teachers and students have a seamless experience during online events and that they can focus on teachings and practice rather than technology. Our Zoom team volunteers:
- Open each online meeting session.
- Assign meeting roles to others (co-hosts).
- Establish the interpreter channels for translators.
- Play audio, text and video files when requested by the teacher.
- Ensure that meetings are recording to the cloud, and stop recordings when needed.
- Manage Q&A queue.
- Stream event to Facebook or YouTube.
- Support Rinpoche, resident lamas and teachers with technology testing and issues.
Global Zoom team members support retreats and other events based on their availability, and we try to have a host and a co-host (or two) from our team for every retreat session. You can join this team from anywhere in the world. The knowledge and skills needed to support Ligmincha events on Zoom include:
- Some knowledge of Zoom account settings and controls.
- Strong, conversational-level English skills.
- High-speed internet connection.
- Familiarity with WhatsApp (our communication tool).
- Familiarity with Google Docs.
Hosting or co-hosting all or part of an event gives you free access to all of that same event, even if you are only working on the Zoom team for a few sessions. The team is made up of lively and fun people who like working with technology and who love being of service to the Ligmincha teachers and community of practitioners.
