1. How do I attend a Virtual Public Meeting?

There are numerous ways to find out when meetings are scheduled: 

1) The Town Calendar

2) Agenda & Minutes Center

3) Town Government Page with links to all departments, boards, commissions, and committees. 

2. How is a Town Public Meeting Webinar different than a regular Zoom meeting?

We use the Zoom Webinar format to hold Public Meetings where the public will be allowed to speak. The Webinar format allows public Attendees to view the Panelists during the meeting, but not speak unless they are recognized. Attendees are able to use the virtual "raise hand" feature to be recognized when asked for their public comment. The public may be asked to submit a speaker request ahead of time in some circumstances where a large number of people wish to speak. 

3. What should I expect as a Public Meeting Webinar Attendee?

When you join the Webinar as an Attendee, you will: 

• not have video or be able to turn on your Mic to speak when you join. 
• not be able to see or communicate with other Attendees in the Webinar. 
• be asked to use the "Raise Hand" button to be recognized to make a public comment. 
• press *9 (star-nine) to raise your hand if you have dialed in by phone.
• be allowed to un-mute your Mic and speak publicly after you are recognized. 

4. I'm a Town Volunteer. Can I get a Town Zoom account?

There are a limited number of licensed Zoom accounts for the RTM and Town boards, commissions, and committees, but you can use a personal Zoom account to join a Public Meeting. Go to ZOOM.US to create your Zoom account. If you have a Town @greenwichct.org email address, contact the HelpDesk for instructions.
