You do not have to register to attend a meeting. All OA virtual meetings are autonomous and have established their own procedures. Anyone can log into the meeting, so in the spirit of your own safety and security, leave your contact information at your own discretion. Please note that some meetings choose to record all or part of a meeting for playback at a future time. By accessing and using the information on this list, you agree that you have been notified that a meeting may be recorded. To maintain your anonymity, you may use a fictitious name, or none at all. You may also listen without speaking. Be advised that in some cases, your phone number, name, or email address may be visible to others in the meeting.
