***NOTE: Zoom can work very well during our events, but it poses difficulties for people with a poor internet connection. So, people from Myanmar (or elsewhere) who might have a poor internet connection or low bandwidth should turn off the video mode and listen to the seminar. You may be able to switch on the video from time to time just to see who is speaking, but definitely don't use the video mode if you wish to speak yourself. You should pose your questions using the chat function. AMI will upload the whole seminar later on the AMI website and Facebook page.
