This document explains some of the tools and ways to interact with your professors and fellow students.You don’t need a paid account to participate in any Zoom meeting. Just install the client! Some schools offer Zoom through a campus license. Check with your school about this.If you need technical help to get up and running with Zoom, see Download/install Zoom client on your device: Zoom’s Help Center: Do a Test RunDuring the early days of class, you will have a chance to check your technology to make sure your audio and video is working smoothly These guides should help:My Video/Camera Isn’t WorkingTesting computer or device audioAttendee Controls in a Meeting (including mute and unmute)Audio Echo In A Meeting In particular:Be sure to download and install the Zoom app on your devices (desktop, laptop or mobile) in advance of the first class meeting.Be ready to have your web cameras on during your entire office hour or class session (screen sharing may be used extensively for learning.)Be mindful about what is happening behind you when your web camera is on, particularly when it comes to roommates who may unknowingly be in the background. You can use a “virtual background” to blank out what’s behind you.To maintain eye contact in Zoom with other people, look at your web camera, not your screenOne of the frequent pitfalls of video conferences is that some people will accidentally leave their microphones on, drowning out the class’ conversation with background noise. To manage background noise, mute your microphone (especially if you’re in a noisy place); be sure to UNMUTE when you speak into the meeting!Use the meeting chatClick the chat button to open the chat window. You can send a message to Everyone or pick individual people from the list.Share your Screen / Take or Give Control of ScreenThe green Share button on the bottom tool bar in your Zoom window allows you to share your desktop or a single application. The Remote Control feature allows professor or students to take control of another participant's screen in a meeting. You can either request remote control of another participant's screen or the other participant can give control to you.Example: Request control of another user’s shared screen. When a participant shares their screen, go to the “View Options” menu at the top of the Zoom screen. Choose “Request Remote Control”. The person sharing will see an alert and grant permission. When you’re done, choose “Give Up Remote Control” under options.Use breakout roomsZoom has separate breakout rooms for small group projects and discussions. Breakout rooms have tools such as screen-sharing and whiteboard for your breakout group to use. The host of your meeting will add students to breakout rooms.-3524241228725 Zoom’s Managing Video Breakout Rooms guide explains how the professor or host of your class can assign you to a breakout room.Once your group is in a breakout room, you will have your own set of tools for screen-sharing, whiteboard, chat, etc. Click “Ask for Help” to send a request for the Host to join your breakout group.Zoom can record class sessions / office hoursZoom’s built-in recording tool may be used to record a lecture or learning session. The host can record and share a link to the recording with everyone. Or, the host may give permission to others to record. If the host has given you permission, Click the RECORD button and the recording will be saved onto your local computer. When the Record button is activated in Zoom, students will see the following alert on their screens. Never save or share a recording that includes other people without getting their permission. If you plan to record a class meeting, alert fellow students that you would like to record the meeting. By law in some states, you are required to ask permission to record voice, image or likeness of any other person. Play it safe and do not record if others in the meeting do not give permission. Use in-meeting file transfer One of the easiest ways to share files with your students is to use Zoom’s hidden in-meeting file transfer tool. To use it, just click the File button at the bottom of the Chat window. Students will see a notice that a file has been made available and will be given the option to download it. The largest file you can upload is 512 MB. Sharing and Annotating a WhiteboardZoom’s whiteboard (see Sharing a Whiteboard) is an effective tool for summarizing key points during discussions5088857552450Tip: The button students click to download a screenshot of the whiteboard is hidden. While the whiteboard is on the screen, students have to click the “View Options” pull-down list at the top of the whiteboard and then click Annotate.
