At some point during a session, you might want to show your fellow participants something on your own screen. Luckily, it is very easy to share your screen with the people in your Circles session:
Open the Tools menu in the right of the CirclesSpace™️ and choose “share screen.
Select which part of your screen you want to share; the easiest option is to share your entire screen. To do this, click on the picture of your screen, then click the ‘Share‘ button below.
The gray media tray under the agenda confirms that you are sharing your screen. Your fellow participants can see what you see on your screen in a pop-up media window.
To stop sharing your screen, simply click the X in the gray media tray in the little bar below the agenda.
Following all the steps correctly and still can’t share your screen? Check out this article on how to fix your problem.
Share your Screen and See Circle Participants at the Same Time
You may wish to be able to see and interact with the other members of your circle while you are sharing your screen. The following steps will demonstrate how to do this. NOTE: This process does not work on Safari, but will work with Chrome and Edge.
Position the window you wish to share and the window with the CircleSpace™️ side-by-side on your screen,
2. In the window that pops up, select to share a ‘window’ (on the top), then select the image of the window you want the other participants to see. When ready, click ‘Share’ to start sharing.
Accidentally clicked ‘Start‘ before you were ready? Now, the progress-bar that guides you through the sections and timings of the agenda is off. No problem, you can easily reset the progress bar during your session. Here is what you need to do:
Go to Tools by clicking on the ‘Tools’ button on the right side of your screen above the agenda.
Select ‘Session Controls‘.
Click ‘Reset Progress Bar‘.
The progress bar will then go back to 00:00 to start from the beginning.
At Circles, agendas run our sessions! With their easy and interactive design, their structure supports facilitation with minimal distractions.
1. Choosing Where to Create Your Agenda
There are two ways to create new agendas, either in the CircleSpace™️ or in the My.Circles dashboard. We’ll explain both methods below, and the tools you can use when creating.
Creating in My.Circles
Go to your My.Circles Dashboard and log in using your credentials. When you select the ‘Agendas‘ tab on the top of the page the Agenda Library will appear.
Click the new agenda icon on the bottom of the library to begin a new agenda in whatever folder you’re presently in.
Creating in the CircleSpace™️
In the agenda space on the right side of the space, you can either click ‘Create a New Agenda’ if there is no agenda open, or ‘New Agenda’ in the drop down menu accessed by clicking ‘Agendas’
2. Tools to Use When Creating Your Agenda:
Agenda Editor
Start right away! The Agenda Editor is where you can begin to start editing your agenda’s name, set the title of the first page, and allocate time to the first section of your agenda.
Add a title to your current agenda page by selecting ‘Set Agenda Name‘
Begin to type into the ‘Page Name‘ text box to add in your first title.
Decide how long you’ll spend in this section by setting a duration in your progress bar.
Next, write the body of the text. You can use various useful functions:
Adapt the font size
Select a heading style (we recommend using H2 within the body)
Write something in bold, cursive, underlined or strike-through
Make a numbered list or bullet points
Add a hyperlink
Insert a picture (click on the image and insert the image URL)
Change the color of the font or background
Remove formatting
Add a button
NOTE: Adding an image works best when you first paste it into a text document, adjust its size, then copy and paste it directly into the body of your agenda.
Add Buttons to Your Agenda Page
Some of the most beloved features of the CircleSpace are the agenda buttons. They make it very easy to run an agenda by simply clicking on them. To add a button to your agenda, click the magic wand symbol and select what kind of button you want to add.
Agenda Table of Contents
To see an overview of your entire agenda, simply click ‘Contents’. A full overview of your agenda and assigned total time will pop up.
3. Saving The Finished Agenda
When you are done creating your agenda, click on “Save” at the bottom of the page.
After clicking ‘Save‘ you’ll be re-directed to the Agenda Library if you’re working from the My.Circles Dashboard. From here you’ll be able to see all the agendas in your Circle, browse other agendas from your organization, and also take a look at our Sample Agendas. You can easily access all options such as make a new agenda, make a copy, edit, or delete. Now, you are able to bring up your agenda in the CircleSpace™️.
