We need something similar today. 00:38:56 Aidan Cross: Clarification was extremely necessary 00:40:03 Alvin Ja: Mainstream Media will only feature the anti-China Gordon; our Gordon Chang will not get airtime. 00:42:13 Peter T Lam: Slides: try click on full screen. 00:43:06 Alex: I don't think moderator is here. I asked them about the slides thing too a minute ago 00:43:24 Aidan Cross: It is not that bad anyway 00:46:48 Mei Lam: to Peter Li: if you move the 2 parallel line on the right edge (as you are looking at the slide)of the slide to the right, it will increase the size of slide and reduce George's. 00:47:20 Alex: i don't know about peter but i prefer the chat open. so it decreases screen size. and i'm on a large laptop. 00:48:23 Alex: i think don is running this so we're stuck with what we got. 00:48:40 Mei Lam: Alex also gave this advice via Q/A box: ON the bottom right, left of the + - bar, click the icon to present in full screen mode. people are asking for in the chat. 00:49:02 Alex: Mei, this advice is for Don Tow, if he sees it. IT doesn't work on our side. He has to click it on his computer. 00:52:11 Aidan Cross: And perhaps to no one surprise, this is rarely taught in British education 00:52:17 Aidan Cross: *ones 00:52:22 Mei Lam: Alex: I forwarded your message to Don. thanks, 00:53:17 Alex: Nobody teaches their own crappy history it seems. 00:56:15 Grace Listkowski: I cannot see the share screen, it was oversized. 01:02:30 Peter T Lam: @Grace, try put curser on line at the edge of the window and move the window smaller. Maybe it would help. 01:04:30 Grace Listkowski: @Peter, thank you, will try. 01:05:29 Grace Listkowski: @Peter, got it. 01:08:19 FAHIM SHIRAZEE: Don or Mei: Can one of you please copy and paste the links in the chat?
