Use the Member Network to chat with peers from your community. Select your profile image to open the Member Network.

Members online will display with a green dot, but you can message them anytime and they will be notified via their insights email.
When you have a new message, a small red circle and pop-up will display. If you have enabled notifications for Volute, you will also get a browser push notification.
Use the filter and search to find peers by name, organization, job title or area of expertise.

3. Meet Up with other members

A Meet Up is a personal video conference directly related to a Discussion topic. Any member can create their own Meet Up and invite peers for a conversation. Volute "wraps" content with conversation so you can apply learning on the job. A Meet Up can be set up in just seconds for on-demand access to peers and subject matter experts, or can be scheduled in advance.

Meet Ups can be private to invited members only, or can be set for "Open Registration". "Open Registration" is only available to Topic moderators.

Select Meet Ups from the left navigation to access all upcoming Meet Ups. A Meet Up shows as a blue box in your Topic with the title, date, and invitees. Only those who have been invited will see the Meet Up, unless it is set as Open Registration.

Test your mic and camera well in advance of your first Meet Up and allow browser permissions so you can contribute to the conversation.
You can join your Meet Up 5 minutes before the start time or any time during the live event by selecting the Join button. Note: You must register for an "Open Registration" Meet Up to be able to Join.

Collaborate with peers in your Meet Up using audio, video, and chat.

Use the Meet Up menu to turn your mic and camera on or off, share your screen, or access the Meet Up chat. Pro Tip: Meet Up chat is for the Meet Up attendees only, which is separate from the Member Chat on the right.
Use Fullscreen for a larger view of your Meet Up.
Organizers of the Meet Up can choose to have Volute's A.I. bot take notes. The A.I. bot will publish a summary of the notes to the Topic when the Meet Up ends to inform those who couldn't attend about what happened in the Meet Up.
