Hosting the Video Training
- Accounts: There will be one webcast account per registered locality in your region. The login credentials will be sent to the designated training coordinator for each locality. There will no longer be individual login credentials for the registered trainees in each locality. Churches will watch the archive messages.
A webcast account will be automatically created for each locality and login credentials will be emailed to the designated coordinator. Once the accounts have been set up, the churches will not be able to enter the ITERO webcast site until the accounts have been activated. Webcast accounts will be activated approximately one week before the live training begins. LSM will send an email to the training coordinators for each church to notify them that their account has been activated which will include instructions on the use of the video training webcast. - Languages: Archive files will be provided with a choice of English, German, Chinese, Farsi, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese and some additional languages may also be included.
- Availability: Video trainings must be scheduled between 11 April and 28 April 2025. The archived messages will be available approximately 2-3 hours after the live message ends.
- Licenses: All training messages employ Digital Rights Management (DRM). A maximum of three licenses per language will be allowed. The extra two licenses can be used as a backup in case a second or third computer/device is needed to replace the first one. Your license count will be appropriately increased according to the number of languages needed.
- Name tags: Registered trainees should wear a name tag while attending the video training. The training coordinator for the church will receive name tags as a PDF file and will be responsible for printing and distributing the name tags for each registered brother.
- Outlines: Training outlines are mandatory for each trainee. Outlines should be ordered by 27 February 2025. PDFs of the ITERO outlines will not be available online.
- In person: If government restrictions in your area clearly allow you to gather in groups, the video training may be held in person.
- Corporately via Zoom or similar platform:
- Each locality has the option to carry out the video training corporately via Zoom or similar conferencing platform.
- A corporate video training should be conducted as Zoom sessions by language for each meeting in which you gather the saints to sing and pray, watch the message together, and prophesy.
- LSM will provide the training coordinators a training webcast account from which they can access the video training messages to stream during the Zoom sessions. Outlines will no longer be available on the training webcast site.
- The saint administrating the Zoom sessions can stream the message from the training webcast site through their computer, using the share screen function,to the rest of the registered saints in the Zoom session.
- All audio languages will be available via a drop down menu on the training webcast account, and if the registered trainees need to meet together according to language groups, LSM will increase your license count to handle the additional language meetings.
- The training coordinators will need to exercise much care that the Zoom meeting ID is not used by brothers who are not registered for the video training.
- If you are conducting the video training in person, please take attendance at the beginning of each meeting.
- If you are conducting your training via Zoom or similar platform, you are responsible to take attendance using the Zoom “Participants” window or by following up with the saints individually. If individually registered localities arrange to view the video training messages together, the training coordinator foreach locality is responsible to take attendance for the saints in their locality.
- Each locality should record their video training attendance as accurately as possible on the enclosed Video Training Attendance form and submit the form to Lebensstrom within seven days of completing their training.
- Group study sessions will remain a mandatory requirement for those participating in the ITERO.
- Group study sessions should be conducted online by video conferencing software (such as Skype or Zoom) or in person by groups if it is safe to do so.
- Groups and group leaders are to be assigned by the local elders/leading ones. Groups of 8 to 10 are optimal.
- Attendance should be taken during the study sessions and included on the Video Training Attendance form.
