Hello Liz and everyone,I wouldn't like to see the chat feature turned off and unavailable in Zoom meeting, since I find it very useful and even an advantage vs. an in-person meeting. Perhaps the facilitator(s) don't need to monitor and respond to the chats, except the ones privately to them, leaving the chat for responses and comments to the room and for private conversations, so the facilitator can concentrate on the flow of the meeting. If someone wants to raise a point for the facilitator to respond to or for the group to discuss, they can "raise your hand" and get recognized by the facilitator.

We had the unexpected challenge that our laminated cards are highly reflective so we couldn't see what color they are. Also we had encouraged folk to find things at home in the appropriate colors, thinking it would be fun and funny--which it was--but mama mia you can't see what color a pencil is on zoom, and red (stop the discussion) and orange (appreciation) look pretty much exactly the same. For the easy decisions (approve minutes and approve agenda) we asked "any objections" after carding so the people on the phone could speak up. For the hard decision (spend $10,000 on new pathway lighting) we asked the people on the phone what color their cards were. While the feedback from the meeting was mostly very positive the facilitators were quite overwhelmed and we'll do somethings differently next time. We had both facilitators helping each other AND side discussions in chat--we are inclined to turn off chat completely next time. There was no way to keep up with it as facilitators. (We'll tell people to text or use slack for their side discussions, which folks did in our live meetings already.) Does anyone know how to make it so cohosts can all chat but others cannot? Also we are thinking two hours is too long, next meeting 1.5 hours max. AND we are taking advantage of this opportunity to ask what was already out in the air before this--why do we meet? What do we aim to get from meetings? Liz Mosaic Commons in Berlin, MA
