Re: [Tools-discuss] [Manycouches] Hums during virtual meetings

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

Good stuff! Though either it, or me, isn't quite right

I created a meeting (called "blah") then a question but
didn't figure out how to actually hum. Will try again
tomorrow, when I'm sure others'll have figured it out for
me:-)

Cheers,
S.
