:'''Offer a possibility for a call''' -- Pick a time window(s) in which you could do a call.  Post it as an invitation on the schedule by signing up for "I am proposing a call." Only one group of people can use the Holding the Space Sessions Zoom account at a time.  So, make sure not to propose a time that conflicts with another call.

Click on the appropriate "Sign Up" button(s) for what you want to do.  Then, when you click the "Submit and Sign Up" button at the bottom, a Comment box will appear.  That's where you put in the information for what you're proposing or for specifying anything when you're joining.  Note:  It is not necessary to log into SignUpGenius.  Doing so just makes it easier if you want to edit or delete what you've done and makes it easier to sign up for things.  (New blank slots for proposing times will be added, to replace the ones that have been filled in, by the end of each day.)

Because the signup includes a lot of blank slots for each day, the quickest way to get to a date that you want to sign up for is to do a search for it.  For example, if you want to go to February 4th, then do a search for "02/04"
 
==Augmented features of this signup==
 
The functionality of this signup has been augmented with extra features that normal SignUpGenius signups don't have.  The main functionality we wanted to add was for proposers of times to be notified when someone signed up to join their call.  This way people wouldn’t have to keep coming back to the signup to check to see if anyone had signed up to join them.  So, the way we've implemented that is that whenever someone joins a call, all of the people who have already signed up for the call will be automatically notified with an email. 
 
Another feature we were asked to include was for getting notifications when times are proposed.  Unlike the "Someone has joined a call" notifications that are automatically sent out, you need to [https://meaningfulaction.org/signup/notificationchoices.html add yourself to a mailing list] if you want to receive emails about new times that have been proposed.
 
==Opt-in to get notifications of new times==
[https://meaningfulaction.org/signup/notificationchoices.html Click here] to sign up to be notified when new times are offered (either immediately or with a once a day digest).

For everyone who uses the signup, whenever there is a new signup for a slot, all of the people who have already signed up for the slot will be notified with an email.
 
If you sign up to get notifications whenever times are proposed, these emails will come shortly after a time is proposed. (Note: If the way the newly proposed time is specified is doesn't make sense to the computer program that is generating these emails, then it won't send emails out about that newly proposed time.)
 
If you sign up for the Once a Day At Most digest, then you'll get a digest that has times that have been proposed that are still open to more people signing up for them.

===Hosting the Zoom call===
The default is that the proposer will be the host, i.e., the person who signed up for "I am proposing a call" is the person who will host the Zoom call.  This merely means that you will log in to the Holding the Space Sessions Zoom account and use it to start the meeting.
