Practicing Moderation

We recommend practicing moderation using the instructions below before your Remesh Live conversation. You can do this in a few different ways.

  1. Getting Started allows you to practice using premade Conversations
  2. Practice/Simulate allows you to practice using your own Discussion Guide

Send a Pre-Programmed Item

You can send an item in 3 different ways.

  1. Hover over any item in the Guide, then click Send to send it to your audience. Once an item has been sent, it will move to the Sent section. You can ask questions out of order or skip them entirely.
  2. You will see a preview of your next question in the conversation space to the right. Click send to send that item.
  3. Set your conversation on AutoSend. This will send the items in the order they are programmed automatically. Read more about AutoSend here!
