✅ SayPro Tasks: Real-Time Troubleshooting for Virtual Attendees

🎯 Objective:

To ensure all virtual attendees can join, engage with, and participate in sessions smoothly, by providing real-time technical support related to access, digital tools, and session functionality.

🧭 1. Before the Session: Proactive Troubleshooting Preparation

a. Distribute Clear Joining Instructions

Send joining links well in advance via email or calendar invite.
Include details such as:
- Meeting link and backup dial-in numbers
- Session time (with time zone)
- Step-by-step joining guide with screenshots (e.g., how to access Zoom or MS Teams)
- FAQ on common technical issues (e.g., audio settings, browser permissions)

b. Set Up a Live Support Channel

Designate a live support contact point 15–30 minutes before the session starts:
- WhatsApp number
- Dedicated support email
- Chatbot or pop-up support on SayPro’s event page
- Breakout help room (for Zoom/MS Teams)

🛠️ 2. During the Session: Provide Real-Time Troubleshooting

Common Issue	Real-Time Troubleshooting Action
Can’t join the session	Resend the session link; offer dial-in info or redirect to backup platform
Stuck in waiting room	Manually admit participant or adjust settings if many are affected
Wrong link or expired invite	Verify date/time and share correct live link instantly

✅ Tip: Use pre-written quick response templates to reply faster to common questions.

✅ Tip: Offer a brief “Tech Support Room” for one-on-one assistance without disrupting the main session.

c. Online Tool Navigation Issues

Trouble using polls, chat, or reactions	Guide the user step-by-step (e.g., “Click on ‘Polls’ at the bottom of your screen…”)
Can’t open shared docs (Google Drive, OneDrive)	Confirm they have access permissions; provide alternate link or email attachment
Breakout room issues	Manually assign or reassign participants; provide instructions on how to return to the main room

✅ Tip: Use screenshots or a shared screen to visually guide attendees during common tool issues.

🧑‍💼 3. Communication Protocols During Support

a. Stay Calm, Clear, and Supportive

Acknowledge the issue and reassure attendees you’re working on it.
Avoid technical jargon—use clear, plain language.
If unable to solve it immediately, offer alternatives (e.g., watch recording, send notes after).

b. Support Multiple Attendees Efficiently

Use private chat for individual issues to avoid disrupting the group.
Have a support assistant or second host if the group is large.
Maintain a shared troubleshooting log to track and escalate issues.

📈 4. Post-Session Troubleshooting Summary

a. Document Common Issues

Log recurring tech challenges and how they were solved.
Use this data to update SayPro’s troubleshooting guide or future support FAQs.

b. Follow Up with Affected Participants

Send thank-you messages with:
