I've noticed that some folks have had to type what they want to say in order to be part of the conversation. I'm so glad that you stuck with us today. However, I'm hoping to figure out ways to make it easier for folks to join the conversation.
Who was having challenges? What type of challenges are you having?
I noticed you ended up joining with a cell phone.
Is there anything I can do to make the environment for our conversation more accessible?
I had a microphone challenge because my system is muting my microphone on a global level for some reason. So, not session specific and I should be good next time!
I did join from a cellphone, which was great except during screensharing. My work machine doesn't have a microphone or camera, so it was my only option today. I'll see what my options are for future sessions.
Yeah, I have run into a "newish" windows 10 privacy setting that seems to do cause some problems. Here is a link from the Microsoft site Windows 10 camera, microphone, and privacy
You may also find this youtube video a bit of help in setting up Google Meet / Hangouts which we have been using for our conversations.
If anyone whats to try to set up a one on one call to get your connection working well. I'd be glad to help some folks. Or folks can pair off with others work through connection issues. Others please feel free to jump in here sharing the things that are or are not working for you.
Thanks, Tom!
Has anyone tried to use their cellphone or a Tablet on wifi to connect to analytic Coffee? That might work better for some and not cost phone charges.
I do it all the time. The meet app is great.
How does the lean coffee party work on a tablet? Via app or safari?
Part of my interest in analytic Coffee in the larger Tessitura Community is about finding better ways to build a virtual community. I love that folks are willing to experiment. Thank you all for giving this a go.
Melanie Evans To answer your question the web site lean coffee table is by in large responsive. It has a more scrolling based interface when you get onto phones and narrower tablets. However, it looks functional.
One of the things I just tried is to use my old iPad Air 2 (16 GB.) It appears that one can run Safari to see Lean Coffee Table and the Google Meet Application on the screen in split screen mode. (This is a feature of iOS on tablets.) See photo below.
One of the things I learned about this configuration is that you can only use Audio in the split screen mode.
Related, I will be facilitating analytic Coffee on the road on May 17 from the 92Y. I might try the configuration above.
This has gotten me to thinking about how to keep analytic Coffee going when I'm might not be available for one reason or another. Is there anyone who might be willing to be a facilitator for analytic Coffee on days that for some reason I'm not available?

Thanks Tom! I'll have to try this out on the tablet next time just to see.
With regards to Tom related back up dates for analytic Coffee, I'm happy to periodically assist. I can facilitate, but am so far pretty terrible with analytics.
