ELECTRONIC MEETING BEST PRACTICES FOR PARTICIPANTS
Some meetings are specific to LGBTQ+, Men, Parents, and Women. We ask that you honor their Group conscience by not attending a meeting that you would not choose to attend in person.
Here are a few anonymity and other best practices when you use online meeting services:

Here are a few anonymity and other best practices when you use online meeting services:
- When you sign in, type in your first name only (and last name initial if you like) to protect your anonymity.
- Beware: If you call in to a video conference, your phone number is displayed for all to see.
- Be sure you are in a private space so that people who are not in Al-Anon don't see or hear the meeting. This will also maintain the anonymity of those in your physical space.
- If you want to be visible to others you'll need to call in with a smart phone or a computer that has a camera. Or you can choose to not allow video and just use the audio option. Note: Some Groups may request that you allow video for Group safety purposes.
- Mute yourself when you're not talking - whether you are in a telephone or video meeting. To mute yourself in video meetings, hover over the meeting with your cursor or touch the screen with your finger and it will show you the options at the bottom, top, or side of the screen, depending on your device. You can mute/unmute, have video or no video. If you joined by phone, most phone conference systems use either *1 or *6 to mute/unmute.
Please read this information primarily taken from the WSO website:
Electronic meetings, like all Al‑Anon meetings, offer help and hope to anyone who is affected by alcoholism in a family member or friend. Electronic Al‑Anon meetings agree to abide by the spirit of the Twelve Traditions. Each Al‑Anon member is responsible for keeping the meeting focused on Al‑Anon recovery and discussion of Al‑Anon related topics. Al‑Anon will always be what we—its members—make it. Confidentiality and anonymity varies from platform to platform. It is the responsibility of the Al‑Anon member to understand how to maintain personal anonymity when participating in an online Al‑Anon meeting and to understand the privacy issues with the various service provider.
