How do I host an In-Person Watch Party?
Step 1: Register for your seminar once through www.almaghrib.org using your own name and email. Do not share your login credentials.
Step 2: Invite your friends and family to join you in person at a private residence or venue and cast the video to a viewing screen or surface. (For more info on casting, see here)
Step 3: We encourage students to turn on cameras throughout the class to make it a more personal and engaging experience. Try to set up a camera to show your party in all its glory!
Step 4: Guests of your watch party will be able to view the session and a designated ‘typist’ can be assigned to interact in the chat on your behalf.
Who will be able to take the exam for the class/get credit towards the AlMaghrib degree?
Only the host who is registered for the seminar will be permitted to take the exam and apply it towards their AlMaghrib Degree.
How will we ask questions during class?
You may have one representative from the group who is asking on everyone’s behalf in the chat, alternatively, you may queue up for verbal questions to be asked on the microphone as long as there is minimal to no disruptions in the background.
What if someone can’t make it in person, can they access the recording?
The aim of this initiative is to bring people together in person. If a guest is unable to make the Watch Party, they are welcome to register and view the class remotely or to catch up on the recordings but sharing login access by the host is not permitted for this purpose.
Some important points to note:
1. If you are interested in or are planning to host a Watch Party, please inform registrar@almaghrib.org so that the instructor can be informed
2. Please add ‘Watch Party’ next to your name in the participants list so that the instructor is aware that you are in attendance.
3. Reminder, please adhere to all local Covid regulations in your area and be mindful of legal gathering limits set by your local authorities.
4. Watch Party registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable.
