- Keep your microphone muted until you’re invited to speak.
- Wait for the mentor to call on you before asking a question.
- Be concise and respectful when it’s your turn, so everyone gets a chance.
- Use the chat to queue questions or share context if requested.
- Be mindful of time and wrap up when prompted.
- No interruptions or side conversations while others are speaking.
