Mysterium 2020 Discussion Rooms

Mysterium Online Discussion Rooms

To keep the Mysterium social spirit alive during our virtual convention, we’ve created spaces for registered participants to meet and chat each night. We’ll feature a few community suggested topics to get the conversation started, as well as free discussion spaces.

Discussion rooms will be hosted using Zoom. About 10 minutes prior to opening the rooms, we’ll provide the meeting URLs on this page. All you’ll need to do is click the one you’d like to join and you’re in! If you don’t already have Zoom, we recommend downloading it in advance from https://zoom.us/download.

We ask that you not share the information on this page with anyone not registered for the convention. Do not share this page on social media.

What is the content level for these discussion rooms?

All of our virtual spaces are family friendly. Attendees participating in the discussion rooms are expected to keep things PG-13 at most.

Can I propose additional topics?

Absolutely! We have extra empty rooms listed below for Saturday and Sunday that you can use. You can propose topics in our #discussion-rooms-meta Discord channel and form a group before snagging one of the empty rooms.

Is Zoom safe?

The discussion spaces listed below will contain a Mysterium staff member to monitor for any disruptions or behavior that does not align with our policies. Our staff have been trained on Zoom meeting security and will remove disruptive participants as appropriate. Conduct not in alignment with with our policies or Zoom’s Acceptable Use Policy may be reported to Zoom Trust & Safety for further review.

If an issue arises, notify the host in the Zoom room. If necessary, you can also notify us on Discord by tagging the ‘@Mysterium Staff’ group.
