3. Practice participating with someone more experienced before the scheduled event so that the meeting is not lost to explaining how to participate.
4. Show up prepared to participate with the appropriate application installed on your computer and the correct procedures for participating understood. The details of how to participate will vary depending on the "chat" service that is chosen.
