Troubleshooting

  • If you click on a Teams Meeting Room link and get a ‘link not valid’ error, this could mean:
    • The supervisor has not started the meeting yet (please note some supervisors are not available until later in the networking session) – please try another room, and/or come back to this room later
    • Your browser is not compatible with Teams. Firefox and Chrome are preferred.
    • On a mobile device (phone/tablet), your Teams app may not be working or up-to-date.
  • If you access a networking meeting and don’t automatically enter, please wait in the lobby until you are admitted.
  • If you can’t access the networking meetings, or have trouble accessing a particular meeting room, supervisors can be emailed through the project pages – click on the project titles above.
  • If a meeting room is busy, please consider using the chat function or use the ‘Raise your hand’ function to ask a question if using a laptop, computer or tablet.
  • Our Scientific Education Office can also help prospective students: please email education@wehi.edu.au if you have any questions after the event.
