A few key items of note:
· Please enter your graduation year, school, and current employer (if applicable) next to your name when you login to Glimpse. ie: Ithaca Graduate, 2005, School of Business, Company Name
· Once you create a login, you will receive an email from Glimpse with a security key. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM/JUNK EMAIL FOLDER, as this often gets sent there in error.
· You will see a series of check boxes, which allow you to check career and geographic areas that you would like to network in. These tags will be used to match you with other participants.
· You must have your camera and audio TURNED OFF IN ZOOM for them to work in Glimpse.
· Glimpse will NOT work with Microsoft Edge. You will need to use a different browser. Google Chrome is recommended.
· Have a digital copy or photo of your business card or contact information ready to share!
· You can download the mobile Glimpse app for both iOS and Android.
· There are a few common causes for issues with camera or video. The first, is permissions. As you are required to use audio and camera to video chat on Glimpse, clicking “Allow” before entering the Glimpse session is critical. If you accidentally click “Deny”, follow these steps here for chrome.
· Here is a demo of Glimpse: What Glimpsing is Like - walkthrough for members
For those experiencing trouble or difficulty logging in, troubleshooting help with be available by logging into our Network Nights Troubleshooting Zoom Room.
How this will work:
· Participants will be put into a waiting room, where they will then receive an invitation to match with another individual based on the preselected career and geographic tags that you selected.
· Accept the invitation, and you will be put into a separate breakout area with your match. You will have 5 minutes to chat, with the option to add 2 – 2 minute time extensions. While in the breakout room, you will have the opportunity to engage in icebreaker questions, photo booth, exchange contact and social media information, and just get to know each other. You will automatically be placed in a waiting room when your time is up, and the cycle will begin again with someone new.
· Glimpse is a fun platform designed to encourage conversation and networking. The matching is random and will allow you to meet new people within your career interest areas. You are not able to pre-select who you will be matched with at this time.
You are welcome to stay for the entire event or sign in and out as you have available time, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
