Use the Online Meeting Link on the BSF Online website to Start your weekly group discussion (Online Group Leaders) or Online Leaders Meetings (Online Trainers/Assistant Online Trainers). This link is unique to your Online Group and Online Leaders Meeting (OLM).
If a leader opens their meeting "early" and has no activity, the meeting may automatically close after 40 minutes. However, an active meeting is not limited to a length in time.
Important! The actual Zoom information within the meeting (under the Green Shield in the upper left corner) *CHANGES* each week, so make sure you are using the link provided on the BSFO website which remains constant throughout the year.
Please read this article for information on the difference between the Join Meeting link and Start Meeting link: Leader - Host Link vs Participant Link
