   1. Create an announcement, add a link to your course navbar, or create a link in Content to share meeting information with your students.

2. Get familiar with Zoom Common Controls and Teaching Tips

In Class Procedure:

1. Log in to Zoom from podium PC.

2. Start your Zoom Session for your class

3. Check the following settings:

Audio Settings:

Within the classrooms, these are the appropriate selections for audio.  These should be preset. 

If you have audio problems, please check these Zoom settings.

If audio is still not working, please use the classroom control panel.  Audio follows the last “pick & poke” action you took.  If you used “pick & poke” to blank one of the projectors, that will also mute the audio.  To enable audio, “pick & poke” a monitor to one of the projectors or the confidence monitor.

 Security Settings

To avoid these disruptions during your lecture we recommend the following security settings:

• Disable – Share Screen. You can change this setting when you want them to share.  Disabling screen share will prevent surprises.

• Disable - Rename Themselves. Prevent anonymous participants.

• Disable - Unmute Themselves.  You can enable this at an appropriate point in the class session.  This setting is recommended primarily to ensure a good recording.  The video displayed in Zoom will follow the last speaker.  If you are using the classroom camera to capture the whiteboard, the recording will be interrupted by every cough, squeak or paper tussling by class participants which will blank the image of the whiteboard.

Participants Settings

• Enable - Mute participants on Entry    

• Disable – Allow Participants to Unmute Themselves.  Again, this is to prevent noise from disrupting the recording.

 Chat Settings:

We have administratively set restrictions so that participants cannot send messages to each other but allow them to send chat messages that are seen by all.  If you wish to restrict this further, you may want to restrict students to send chat only to yourself (Host Only)

Sharing Computer Sound:

 If you are playing a video or need the participants to hear other sounds from your computer, Enable – Share Computer Sound

To utilize the DocCam for the Zoom session, you will need to change the source of the video feed. This is done through the Zoom interface.

• Click the up arrow next to the Video icon in Zoom.

• Select HoverCam

If you need to alternate the view between the classroom camera and the Hovercam, you will need to switch back and forth between AV Bridge (classroom cameras) and the Hovercam.

Unfortunately, Zoom does not record multiple monitors simultaneously.  You will need to switch the screen share between the two monitors or move all applications to a single monitor and bring the windows to the front as needed for the lecture.
