How does the remote 1:1 networking work?

• 1:1 meetings are managed remotely via video calls (similar to Skype).
• The video conferencing is provided by the b2match platform – no need to install any software.
• All confirmed meetings display a Start Meeting button and date & time of the meeting.
• Once the time for the conversation has come, click the Start Meeting button
• What happens if your meeting partner doesn't show-up?
  Go to the Message button and request to join the meeting.
  If this should fail, please re-schedule the meeting to another suitable date/time.

What else to be considered?

• Use devices that have a webcam & microphone installed
  A camera is recommended, but not essential.
• Keep an eye on 1:1 meeting timelines (Start/End)
  Please start and end your meetings as indicated, to avoid delays.
• System requirements for virtual meetings
