## Chairing a Coworking Call

* **5 mins - Check-in**: Begin with a short general check-in with folks (how they are doing).
* **2-3 mins - Managing Breakout**: Ask folks what specific task or group they are working on.
* Whoever joins the call first (most CMs and RAMs have co-host rights) -- will be able to make you host (full right), you can then follow this instruction to make a breakout room: see Create breakout rooms.
* Use the online clock to set the timer for the first breakout room (20-25 mins: https://cuckoo.team/tw-coworking) - remind folks of CoC: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md - open the breakout room!
* 1 min before the clock hits the end of Pomodoro, broadcast to everyone that you will be closing rooms! (for Zoom broadcast see: Broadcast a message to all breakout rooms: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/8550395207693-Sharing-screen-and-broadcasting-to-breakout-rooms)
* **Ending Pomodoro**: Close the breakout room at the end of the Pomodoro. Bring people back in the room, and ask if there is anything they would like to report on - or if they have any questions that others can help address.
* **Break**: Remind them of 5 mins break -- use the cuckoo clock.
* Repeat for the second breakout - the second Pomodoro might be shorter.
