Now that everything is prepared and checked, what now?
Pre-Session Checklist
- Boot your Raspberry Pi
- Sign into your Raspberry Pi's GUI
- (Optional) Check if Syncthing is running
- Start Legcord & log into your dedicated second account
- Check if all participants consented to have their voices recorded - the goal is informed consent
- Enter the Session's voice channel
- Make sure Legcord's voice settings are correct, and the client is getting audio in
- If there is a music bot in the voice channel, set its volume to silent
- Open a terminal or an ssh client and log into your Raspberry Pi3
- On the command line, enter
meeting-start --en - Open another terminal or ssh connection and enter
meeting-follow - (Optional) Screen-share the terminal window running
meeting-followwith your Discord voice channel, so everybody can read the transcript. It might help people who struggle with auditory processing, even though transcription quality on budget hardware is limited.
3) You absolutely can open a terminal on the Raspberry Pi's desktop via VNC, too, but I, personally, find this inconvenient.
