So, Linux users are cut out from this course..... am I right?
Hello sardin,
You can attend the webinar being a Linux user. Just remember to use Mozilla Firefox (most recent 2 versions; Linux only). Your Internet connection should be stable enough: 1 Mbps or better (broadband recommended); 3G connection or better (WiFi recommended for VoIP audio) for Chromebooks. In order to listen to the presentation you will need to use speakers or a headset. Remember, that all attendees will remain muted during the webinar and you will need to use the Questions box to communicate with the trainer.
Hope this helps.
My bests, Helen
