For already-structured meetings, if you set "mute on entry", explain
the spacebar PTT and handwave, and ensure everyone has a headset then
it doesn't take long to get far enough up the learning curve. It wish
there was a way for a host to force the chat window to open so people
didn't need to discover it -- a text side channel is nice for sharing
URLs and for displaying the explicit structure of the meeting (eg, when
doing agenda item 5, write "Agenda item 5 Thingmabobs" into the chat).

Interesting times and I'm glad your council got the job done.
