discord on the Audio channels we described before. Instead of the normal activity on YouTube that

you can join, people will share their webcams, and screens in order to provide the introduction

As long as there is no special announcement, **all the sprints and activities will be hosted within
142+
discord** on the `#activities-media` channel (for video/audio), and in `#activities` for text based
143+
communication.
144+
People will share their webcams, and screens in order to provide the introduction
145+
to the topic and to give a short presentation for activities.
146+
147+
**During the [Mentored sprints session](https://pretalx.com/pyladiescon-2024/talk/TYVM8N/) you will
148+
be able to check all the projects that are participating**.
149+
150+
#### Notes for Workshops facilitators
151+
152+
1. The rooms for your activity will happen on `#activities` for a text-only communication, and
153+
`#activities-media` for you to join, share your screen and enable your microphone.
154+
2. People can join the workshop by clicking on the `#activities-media` channel, and you will have
155+
the permissions to mute participants in case they have the microphone open.
156+
3. For sharing your screen, enable your camera, and mute your microphone, you will have a **menu at
157+
the bottom of the screen**, and also in your profile section (bottom left corner) - Like
158+
described in the following image, and the red-rectangles.

### Notes for Sprints facilitators
165+
166+
Like the **workshops**, you will be able to host your sprint on Discord, but the main difference
167+
is that the Sprints will have a forum channel rather than a text-based channel, to provide
168+
a better interaction with all the participants.
169+
170+
Check the `Sprints🏃` category to find your sprints **forum channel** and **video/audio channel**.
