A little bit of
a little bit of basic Zoom and some of the basic settings
and a few things I also wanted to show you is how you can
use Canvas to set up Zoom rooms for your class.
I want to show you how to add co-hosts if you need to add them,
and how to turn the live transcripts on.
Okay, so I'm going to move this out of our way.
And you either logged in
to this session by clicking on a link in calendar,
or you received an email with a link to this class, which easily opened us up.
When you're creating courses,
there's three different ways I want to show you how to do that.
Now, what we're seeing here, the sbcc.edu
or the sbcc.zoom.us.
This is the website for our Zoom instance.
And of course you would come in here and you would sign in.
So I'm signed in already.
But this
will just bring up some settings for me to show you.
And I by habit.
Old habit is I always, would log in to the,
the web app here, but what I want to show you, there's going to be
a couple of the settings in here I want to show to you,
but I also want to mention that from within the sbcc.zoom.us,
page down here at the very bottom it has download client.
And so I don't know if you all have done that yet, but
you might want to go ahead and download the client.
This makes it easier
for using, I believe, using your your web,
your Zoom phone and just your different settings.
But after you download the client,
you of course will go down to the lower left and corner
and you can type Zoom in here and you can search to upload the client there.
Or you can also have it set up.
There's settings we can make that, especially if you're using Zoom Phone
for it to open immediately when you open up
your computer.
Okay.
So I'm going to move this out of our way.
This is the web version
and I am going to come over here.
And what you're seeing here, this is the client that I downloaded okay.
And it usually comes up small like this,
which is nice because a lot of times I have it open and I,
am accessing it a lot for using the phone.
You can make this a little bit bigger, will maximize it
just to make it easier to look at.
And within here the settings we have.
Now you'll notice, let me just show you again
because there's so many different settings.
And to click more and try to sort
through them and find them, sometimes it's easier just to have this,
expanded.
Okay, so a lot of this should look familiar.
Plus, up here in the upper left hand corner,
you're going to see now it says Zoom workplace.
Okay. Before it was just Zoom.
And so we're on the home screen here.
We could schedule meetings.
Since I'm in a meeting, we're seeing a couple of things that are grayed out.
But you also see an upcoming,
your upcoming sessions over here in the right hand side.
And also if you click on,
add a cat calendar, we could click that.
And it opened up my Zoom session.
Using the web page okay.
So it kind of interweaves in and out.
So not to be confusing, but just to let you know,
there's just a couple different places within here
okay.
So what you're creating a a Zoom meeting.
What you can do is you can click on Zoom here.
And of course the topic is going to be placed in here by default.
But maybe art meet Karen.
A. Friday at two.
So I like to give my
meetings
a title that makes it a little bit easier,
not just for myself, but for whomever I'm meeting.
I put that in the topic generally, and so then I would come in here
and I'm going to change the date.
I'm going to change the time.
Which 2:00.
And we say how long we want it to be.
And of course we're in a specific time zone.
If this were a reoccurring meeting and it wasn't a specific date,
let's say that you wanted to create a Zoom meeting
that you used in your course, and you just wanted
a, a meeting that you could open up
whatever it was convenient for you.
You could just have Zoom office hours or, you know,
just a meeting place for you to meet with students when they
when they, make an appointment with you.
And so then what I would do if I wanted to, I could click
on a reoccurring meeting, and this
I could click daily, weekly, monthly,
if I did want recurring meetings.
And then I would, of course, come down here, let me scroll down
a little bit more.
And all this is usually set as you would need.
And then you would go ahead and click save okay.
And then
over here it's just opening
other things for me here.
So now it is showing within my
Gmail account.
I've created this and I want to tell Art or send him the link to this.
And I'm going to send it to his pipeline address to make sure it goes into his.
Email.
And this is optional art.
You don't have to show up on Friday.
And then we would then go here to do is is save that I'm going to save this event.
If I had it recurring, I could choose all that I wanted here.
But I'll go ahead and save it.
Would you like to send an invitation email to Google Care Calendar?
Guest. Yes.
And so I go ahead and do that and we could see it, put this automatically on my
calendar or it's going to receive an email.
He accepts it.
He's going to see it within his calendar also.
Okay.
So that I think is sometimes the easiest way to please
share, a Zoom room.
Let me show you.
And then you're in you're in Google at Santa Barbara City College.
You're on your email or.
Yeah, that's what that's what opened up.
Okay. Right.
And so I did that from within the Zoom app, the web app.
But I could also
and you probably all familiar with this if I knew the date and time,
I could just quickly make, you know, a meeting from within my calendar.
And I would have the same settings and have it go out to whomever a meeting with.
Okay.
And then let me show you something within Zoom that maybe
useful.
Okay.
So within here I have a number of different classes.
If I come into this sandbox shell.
If you want to have recurring meetings
within your course, what you can do is
you can come in here and if you don't see Zoom
in the menu, look here.
Should be one in here that's down there. Yeah.
Yeah, there it is. Okay.
But if you if you're if you're not seeing it,
what you would do is you would go to settings
and then you would go to navigation.
And remember the items up on top.
Here are the ones that are, you know,
published in use can be seen by students.
If you're not seeing it at all, though, you would come down here
and it would be listed in this bottom area and you would just drag that Zoom.
Link up, up to the top here.
Okay.
If it was down here, then we just move it up here so it's available to you okay.
And then of course you're going to always hit save once it is listed here.
And it's visible for students.
What we would do is click on Zoom.
And for this class
what I can do is I can set up a new meeting.
So schedule a new meeting.
I would do that here, but I see right now I do have office hours
set up for every Wednesday at 2 p.m..
Okay.
And you can see it's it's using the same ID number.
But what's nice about this when you use the instructor come in here
and you you can start,
you know the current one that you're you're opening up.
And then students will come in here and they'll enter your Zoom room
over here on the left hand side. But this is nice.
It just places all of your different meetings,
recurring meetings right within the Zoom area.
You also see this.
Remember I said that they're all intertwined.
This is being created within Canvas.
But if we open up Zoom, be
it in the web page or in the desktop
client, you're going to see them listed within there also.
Okay.
And this is for, instructors and students to have Zoom meetings.
Can can students use that Zoom button to establish Zoom meetings
with within the students? No,
no, I think that you you being
the host, you have to go in and you have to start it up.
If that would be a whole different process for students
to create Zoom rooms and share it.
That's correct.
Because this is the the Zoom, sidebar.
And here is connected to, to the instructors, Zoom account.
So that's your account part. So they can't make meetings in here.
Sure would be nice.
A nice alternative to what it is that I'm trying to do.
With students having their own Zoom group meetings.
But if what about Google Meet?
Rob, do you think that might be an easier.
Well, I mean, this is a conversation we can have,
outside of the others.
But the the they can make their own Zoom
meetings, but Art can't see them.
And the same thing would be a Google meets.
So yeah, it's,
it's just not the way that the accounts work.
It's not possible.
You can't have
they would have to add you to they could add you to the group meetings.
But there's nothing that like.
Does it that way.
Okay.
We don't need to go further.
I just. It just doesn't exist yet.
Okay. Yet.
Okay.
So let me see what else I have here to show you.
So with the new updated Zoom,
you're going to see things look a little bit different.
And so you can can you, can you confirm you can see my
different items then we can. Yes.
Thank you icons okay. Thank you.
And so within here this is the Zoom workspace.
Of course
I'm up here I can tell we're seeing my screen.
There's going to be a way I'll show you where I could allow
other attendees to share their screen at the same time.
But that's what we're seeing up here is my screen.
Some of you may remember, if you're wanting to share the link
to this meeting, if you click on this little shield
with a checkmark, if you click on that and then click Copy link,
this is the link that will bring somebody into this, this meeting.
So if I, somebody walked in or I know somebody needs it, simply emailed somebody
on a staff here, we can just copy this link and send it off to them.
Okay.
So that makes it easy to do a couple of the things
we can see up here that, say is recording.
We have different views of our,
of our,
shared screen here.
We're in Gallery view, meaning we can see everybody that's in here.
And if we had a lot of people, we could arrow left
and right to shift the different people through here.
Okay.
And so a couple other things that look a little different.
So down here in the lower left hand corner and, and you
all may have done these all before,
but we have the audio icon.
And this is where I could mute my icon or my audio
clicking on it, I can, mute my audio.
If I click the arrow to the right of it.
You can see I have a couple different there's, couple
different things connected to this computer.
There's actually a couple different cameras.
So I could have my choice of which camera or which microphone I wanted to use.
So some of these are microphone camera combos is what I'm seeing.
And then also select different headphones.
And so of course I have some speakers and I have headphones on here also.
So I would have a choice here.
This comes in handy.
I usually use this each time I log in a test the speakers
to the microphone just to make sure that everything is is, clear for me.
I also, sometimes you'll have people come in and they're not
hearing things, and I like to point out to them to run through this also.
Okay.
And so audio settings just to show you at the very bottom here,
if I click on audio settings, you're going to open up,
a lot of the settings
for Zoom there's going to be a couple settings.
I show you that we have to go into the web
version to change, but for the most part you're good here.
Okay.
So I just wanted to point out that at the bottom, selection
of these couple options will take you to the overall area.
And so down
here in the lower left is also the one for the video.
I can turn that on and off easily.
I can click the little icon to the right.
I can choose which one I want to use.
I can choose to blur my background.
Since my background is a photograph, I don't think it will blur
my photograph though.
But we can also adjust the background and effects.
If I click on here.
This gives me the option once again to blur the background.
I can choose a number of different backgrounds.
I can upload a background if I have one to use here.
There's another place within Zoom
that offers a number of different,
backgrounds that you could choose from if that's something you wanted.
A lot of people, like to use one from City College and on there's.
A. Place and I'll share that with you.
I don't have it with me.
I think dad's dead sitcom. It's a take.
They may have changed that, though.
We do have some images from around campus, if that's what you're looking for.
And we'll share that that link that you can get to also.
So a couple other things within these tabs you might want to mirror your video,
just to show you the different here.
So this is kind of confusing to me because it looks like I'm looking
left, I'm looking right.
And so just for my own sanity, I like to flip it here.
You can adjust for low lighting for different things within here.
If you wanted to play with the avatars, I don't.
Oh, here.
I don't know
anybody who's actually using this, but you may come in.
I think there was a, a Zoom meeting one time
with a judge in the room, and he came in, and he was like a rabbit or something.
So this is what he did. Okay.
So let me turn my my avatar off.
There's a couple other things you could come in here and play with studio effects.
This is always kind of fun putting makeup on or hats.
Hats are always fun.
But, you know, use of it, I
don't know, but but if you see it, you'll know what people are doing.
Now, how do I turn my hat off?
It's going to be the question. There we go. None.
Okay, so that is within the video options here.
So blur my background.
Just background effects to do.
This once again this will take you to the big
choice of all the different settings participants.
What I use this for a lot of times I like coming in here.
I can see who I have, if I need to.
Mute somebody, I could mute them.
Or I could ask Rob to mute himself.
You know, maybe maybe something's running in the background or a child screaming.
We can always, you know,
you could just send them a little note asking them to mute themselves
and then also the street icon,
above, if I wanted to,
I could make somebody a host
within here or give them host permissions or remove their host permissions.
So if I needed to leave and I needed to turn this over to say
I could make sure she has host. Right.
Okay.
So that that's always nice and that's why I open this up sometimes too is
if I have a meeting with somebody and I'm
waiting for them to come here and I have to allow them in,
wouldn't. This panel is open.
It's easier for me to see when somebody logs in rather than,
just looking around for them.
So that that comes in handy to me.
Okay. I had a question.
Okay.
I seen in Rob's, he's got a picture of himself in his screen.
So I've seen this happen before.
How does that happen.
This screen here.
Now you see. Yeah.
Rob he's he's got his image here.
But it's, it's not a black background but it's just him.
How, how do you put your face up there on the screen like that.
Right.
So let me come in here and let me see if I can find out.
So one quick way to get over, like I said to the
to the different settings.
So if I go to video settings that'll take me to video settings in here.
But you should be
and we may have to go to.
I'm not sure if it's inside of there.
Yeah. You can do it right there too. Yeah.
Okay.
So you just change your profile picture and then when your video is off,
it'll show whatever your profile picture is.
Okay. Okay.
And something else I want to point out, which I can see here under profile.
And if we're back in here let me close this again.
Dude, look, here's my profile.
No. What was that?
I'm not sure.
I know that.
That's the Zoom seeing.
Zoom, Zoom Zoom, Zoom.
Just affects on and on and on.
Okay, so what I like to do, let me see which screen I want to show.
Use this on. And.
Of course it's not showing there.
It. Look here.
Okay.
So one place I know we can find.
This is.
When some signed in on the web page
over here in the upper right hand corner.
I'm not sure why it's not showing me. No.
It should. There it is. So I clicked on my profile picture.
I thought I could get it
at the profile area at the other place, but I know I can get it here.
It has licensed, so if you're an instructor, you can get,
a licensed account which allows you to hold meetings longer than an hour.
Okay. And Gail, you have a question?
Oh, yes. Hi, everybody.
Okay. Hi.
I have a question about the option that try to mirror your video.
What is the default setting?
In a way that I can understand.
It is, is it always angled left. Right, or.
Is there something to know about the. Default?
It say, do you have a, an idea on how to do that?
I just know it always is going opposite.
I am and that's why I flip it.
So so it makes more sense to me.
But I'm not the reason why I'm not sure.
Well, you know, I was mostly
just curious about a practical reason that we might need to manipulate that.
Or is it very uncommon that anyone needs to adjust it?
It's just personal preference.
You can either see, like right now my hand is opposite of what my my video feed is.
But if I mirrored it, it would be like I was looking in a mirror.
So some people like the mirror look, but you know,
if you have something on your shirt, it'll be read backwards,
it'll be displayed backwards.
And where? Where was that located?
That thing called mirror your video because my screen is very, very small.
And sorry, I couldn't see the menu.
That was being used.
Right. Let me let me come over here.
Just go under video. Right. Right.
Let me get back here.
Video settings.
Yeah, yeah. Yep yep.
I got a video showing.
Video settings.
And right here.
So if I take this off.
Oh okay.
So if I look left I'm looking right on here.
So it's this for me, is just for me.
It’s confusing to me when I see it.
I just have to make sure I don't wear anything with printing on it.
Like text.
Oh, see, yeah.
[laughter] Okay, so it's under a thing called camera.
I'm...
Video. It doesn't really matter.
I'm not seeing that.
I am video, the blue, the menu is on my left
and it says general video audio or share screen and video is highlighted.
And then
I see camera, but it's not giving me that little option.
It just says integrated webcam.
Oh now I see it.
Got it.
Something happened. Okay. Flipped.
Did you did you flip the mirror like here?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well,
seems almost equivalent for my use.
Okay. Thanks, guys. Okay.
All right.
So let's see what else I have here.
I end up having too many things get myself confused again.
Okay.
So let's go back to here.
Let's see if we can open it without it opening up forever.
A couple other things up here at the top.
Remember, this is the, the desktop
client one, the little one, and then we make it bigger.
Home.
This is what we usually see, the team chat.
I will be honest, I haven't used this a lot.
We've played with a little bit.
I know within
here, Jeff and I were sending messages.
It's just, my thought is we're using the Zoom phone,
and we use the chat in Google,
and so this, this just, through a third place for me to look.
So I've been staying within Google Chat and using Zoom phone, but I don't know,
does, anybody else here from the F or C have any suggestions or thoughts on that?
Yeah, I would, I would recommend using the the team chat
just because it, this is another way of communicating.
We already have Google Chat with all these other things.
There's no other reason not to.
I guess like say said, it's a personal preference, but
it's just another another thing.
Okay.
And so the next tab over is phone.
And so you should be familiar with, with a little bit more with phone.
If you have questions about that, you can contact us.
But, but we just recently had a, a video created on using
and setting up your Zoom phone, so I'll share that with you at the end here.
Meetings you could come in here and you can see the different meanings
I have coming up tomorrow.
This is the one. It's live right now.
These are my tomorrow meetings. My future meetings.
This looks very much like the web
app version looked.
Contacts. I can come in here.
Since this is connected with the with phone, I can quickly come through and find
a contact that I need to,
call or
or contact
a couple of the different apps within here.
The timer app is sometimes nice.
If you're in class, you want to take a five minute break.
Your online, you want to take a with your class.
You want to take a five minute break.
You could use this app called timer, and you could open it up.
And you could set a timer, a timer for five minutes
and then, you know, have that showing on the screen.
Then you can all come back when and this is done.
Let me hit cancel here.
Another thing you have here is a stopwatch.
You could use a stopwatch. Also.
Let me see this toggle.
If I return to my apps.
There's also a virtual background option.
And so this gives you even more,
background you can use.
But what's nice about here, you find one that you like.
I like these lilacs.
I can just click on set as background.
And my background should be the lilacs okay.
For whatever reason, you could go ahead and use any of these for free.
There's a number of different types.
This comes from Pexels p l s okay.
And let me see what else I have here.
So with your screen sharing.
There's also an option.
Got everything going wonky now.
Okay.
So once I bring it over there okay.
Darren. Yes. Yeah.
How would you put a photograph in there as one of them.
As a background.
So what you would do is you would come in, let's go home.
Let me go to hold on, get myself.
So I would come in here, I would go to.
The little arrow next to video.
And, look, here are just background and effects.
If I wanted to add a video, I would click here.
The tab within here is virtual backgrounds,
but you would hit plus and you would add an image.
And then you could choose an image that you've, you've downloaded.
And like I said, we have a number of them for,
Santa Barbara City College that you could use.
And I'll share with you.
Okay. I.
And so videos chat.
So something else that's new.
Let's see here.
Within these options.
So here's the chat we were talking about before.
And this is the link I was going to share with you.
Dad SBC dad smugmug.com.
This will have a number of different city college images.
You can use a couple other things down here.
The react button. This looks a little bit different.
If you click on it, you'll see there's a number of different reactions
or signals that you can share these top ones with an effect,
to show you what happens.
And so now
sending a bunch of balloons out.
You can make any choice of any of these
if for whatever reason, to put it in here.
Okay.
And then, you know, students maybe if they like things to give,
you know, give the, you know, thumbs up, things like that, but also within here
you're going to find
the different reactions like the clapping one, the thumbs up or yes and no.
You know, do you?
If you're asking your students, they can they can do all things like that.
If you need to go somewhere, be right back.
Karen, it mutes you when you do that.
Also o g so it will remove me too.
So remember that.
So if you're going to run it, you turn off the video.
You're still being heard.
Okay.
That's that's good to know okay.
So down here at the bottom would be the there will be a pop up
where you can unmute it or take it, take that selection off.
Okay.
And so a few other things within here.
So that's underneath.
Yet there's a couple fun things in here to play with.
The only one I know that has this working is say with her hand signals.
She can sometimes make big things happen. But,
couple other things.
If I go, yeah, see.
And then we have host tools here.
So this is something good to know you.
You're going to want to allow some participants to share their screen.
So this is where you're going to allow this.
A couple of the things.
Do you want to allow your students to rename themselves
or people in in the.
In the meeting
you're allowing them to unmute themselves also.
So because you could build them,
but then you could allow them to unmute themselves.
If we take this off, that would they would be locked.
Correct.
Is that correct? Is that how you understand it? It.
But you can. Experiment.
But yeah, I think that's what it does.
Okay. Let's just try and mute me.
I try I'm just going to see if you can try me.
Yeah I couldn't do it that way.
Find out now let me try.
I just want to
be obnoxious in the student that just.
We gotcha.
So there is a way here by the name.
But I could continue to hear myself talk.
We can't stop that.
What?
That is funny. So.
But underneath the host tools,
there's a couple different things you want to look around in here.
Main one is to share screen. Okay.
And then let me see what else I have in here.
But I can remove somebody.
You can remove somebody when you're the host. And,
let me see.
I think there's so many things within here.
The apps we looked at that were simpler for the timer.
Virtual backgrounds,
record button break up rooms.
I don't know if anybody uses those,
but we can create as many breakout rooms as we need.
If you wanted to put your students out into different,
breakout sessions.
So if I make this two and I assign people automatically
and I'm going to send you all into a room and then we'll be able to step out,
step back in just to see how it works.
Okay.
And so, Gail, did you have a question? Yeah.
Thank you. I was just curious.
You had mentioned that there was a location.
Again, I'm not seeing, so clearly when you're targeting a certain menu or icon,
did you say that there is a location or shade that we wanted to give?
Acknowledge to a student and we could release something
like a balloon or something congratulation or something to their screen,
because if so, I might benefit from knowing where that is.
Okay. No.
When you when you give the accolades to the little symbols, it goes to everybody.
So I don't know of a way to send it just to one person.
Well it just
it shows it on your background and doesn't show it on their background.
Okay. No problem.
So done down here at the bottom there's something called react.
Oh yeah okay.
So if you click on that that's when we can give you know
so that's on mine that's showing.
And it's the top row that does the animated ones.
Yeah.
So here
you should just the reactions down.
This is the.
Oh okay.
I have an outdated version of Zoom.
Now. So I'm seeing quite a different look.
Yeah.
So what we're showing is obviously the the most up to date ones.
So yeah if you, if you update it
or go to computer that's updated you'll see those different icons.
Okay I got I got one of them.
That's silly okay.
It's silly. Yeah a lot of it's silly stuff.
We don't use it all just so anyway that's there.
Just in case you see it coming up in your, in your way.
So let me show you this.
Gail, this is the,
the desktop version.
And if you come up here to your profile
and if you come down to check for updates, this will update your version.
So you'll have all these things.
Oh, okay.
Just on my profile area.
Okay. Right.
So you'll see check for updates.
Can I do that.
Well I'm in a meeting or I have to wait till I'm,
I haven't tried it.
It will knock you off your meeting.
Okay.
So thank you very much. Alrighty.
Thank you.
And let me see what else I have here.
So the apps, the record, the breakout rooms, we saw captions.
So if I click here, show captions, view transcript, show captions.
Let me caption legal language of course can be English,
but there's a number of different captions in here.
View full Transcript.
If I click this,
choose the language.
And what we should be seeing now is what we're all talking.
I don't believe it.
Just does.
My voice.
So we will give it a try.
You are correct.
It does other people's voices also.
Okay, so that's always nice to do.
You can save the transcript afterwards if you wanted to,
if you were having a meeting.
For an online class and you recorded everything,
you might also want to save the transcript and make that an option.
Some people may prefer to read.
It might be able to read through things faster than watching.
So just an option.
So if you choose another language it doesn't translate.
It just you would have to speak that language and then it would go, okay,
I have a Chinese.
I have a Chinese student whose English is not so great, but.
There may be an is there?
I don't know, there's a I app for that.
Yeah.
I, I don't know. There is.
I don't know which which one it is.
There's a lot.
Where was that script? Under.
Was it under closed captions?
It was under closed captions.
Okay.
View full transcript.
Got it.
Does it does the meeting host have to authorize that,
or is that something that each participant can do on their own?
They can do it on their own.
As long as you don't have
it turned off and it's on by default for all of our accounts.
So you don't need to do anything to to activate it at this point.
I think when they first,
I think if you remember right, the thing when they first added it,
we had to turn it on and they, they finally changed that.
Yeah.
I think I was gonna say about the translation
because I've done this myself,
in scenarios where they're speaking a different language,
I just use my phone.
So if I have my speakers going, I can use my phone to translate it into text.
It'll translate it from Spanish, the English right in front of me
without me having to do anything on the computer. So,
I think our,
especially our international students are pretty savvy with a lot of that stuff.
So let them figure it out.
And just one more thing.
If you end up recording the meeting to the cloud,
the, Zoom cloud,
you will get an SRT file, which is a time captions file that you can download
with a selection of videos that they now allow you
in. If you save your video to the cloud,
remember it's only kept for 14 days, so you'll need to download it
if you need it past 14 days.
So another option here is the polls, but I have no polls created,
so if I wanted to create a poll, this is question one.
Give me a question.
How many islands?
In an orchestra.
I if we could.
I was thinking on Eric's wall.
Okay.
And choice one could be I don't know. Oh.
I didn't even notice that.
Look at Eric's back there. We could add.
We could add more choices, and then we could add another question.
How many in an orchestra?
I think Eric will get both of these.
Okay.
Choice one
can we change the type of choices?
It doesn't appear so.
Has to be a.
Multiple choice.
Right? Right.
So let's. Say.
Oops.
Say turn, say more than turn.
Okay, so if I save this.
I could save it to the library.
I could save it as a meeting.
Pull.
And it should allow me to.
Of course I didn't title it,
but we know what it is.
And so you should see something that pops up on your screen
that's asking you those two questions.
Can you do this ahead of time?
Yes, yes.
You would put them in the library.
Okay.
And I could see how many people have answered.
I'm like, see which answers they did.
And so you can run your questions like this could take a
screenshot.
I'll go ahead and end this.
So meeting Paul two questions
okay.
And then I can share the results with you.
So I believe that should show on your screen the results.
Then you can just dismiss it.
And I can stop sharing here also.
Okay.
And let me see here.
So also under more here's a couple things I'm not that familiar with.
And I might have to call fill in on this bit.
But let me show you the notes.
You could create notes share note options.
Let's go to notes
and I could create a new
set of notes.
And then if I want to share this share to a meeting.
So we're collaborating I'm going to share this note.
And so I'll.
So I just type something
I believe you will or able to type here
also. So.
Some people
oh you have to click the button start collaborating.
Right. Yeah. Right. Right.
So I haven't tried it to in all seriousness,
to see, you know, how usable or how good it would be, but,
maybe good for some people.
Yeah. So,
our students, when they sign up for Zoom,
are they using the same, version number?
And do they have these kinds of features available to them,
for example, for collaboration?
Now, I believe these features are available by way of the host.
You know, I don't I don't think they can start.
If, if they host a meeting, if they host a 40 minute
meeting, yes, they would have access to the exact same tools.
But the host needs to start at whoever's, whoever's starting the, the meeting, so.
Yes and no.
Authorized the collaboration or the other tools.
Yeah. Or the participants. Okay. Yep.
Okay.
And then down here,
let's see what else we have.
We have a whiteboard.
Go ahead and try the whiteboard.
Let me see what I have already in here. Or to tell.
It's a whiteboard.
Existing whiteboards.
Okay.
Then me here's fun fact collaborating.
So, I'm
assuming everybody can see that there's different already created
whiteboards where you could come in here and people can add.
I think we had Rosa Beth in here earlier.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the whiteboard.
I'm not sure how if you try to draw in here.
May not be that.
Yeah.
Maybe if you had, like, a,
an icebreaker and you had a
map, people could put dots on the map where they're from or where they visited.
Things like that could be used.
Are you're asking for students
to understand geography and to.
At least know where they came from.
The Persian Gulf.
Where they are.
But you come up with something.
We're clever. That's what I want to see.
But a couple other things within here.
So we had notes, live stream.
That's if you're going to put this live on YouTube.
I don't know anybody using these,
but it's just a
couple different items and it does look a little bit different.
We had some people looking for,
a couple different things here.
Is there anything
that anybody had questions about in particular?
I think it's just a matter of me
getting back into it and starting to play with it.
Right? Yeah.
And if you're recording your videos, of course you can download
the video as an MP4, which you can upload into YouTube to have it captioned.
And so that that works for three C media, three C media or so.
That's true.
And so if you want any information on that we can get that to you.
And are you referring to the three
C media for captioning in particular.
Captioning and hosting.
Pretty and happy in the past year
about how aggressive YouTube's become with all their ads.
So, even the in the FRC, we're
trying to put all of our videos, the, three C media location.
It's more steps, takes a little bit, takes a little bit longer. But,
they do much better auto captioning there,
for, for faculty, for things in the classroom.
But the there's zero zero
ads there at all. So.
And they can still be embedded and used in play,
pause it or whatever you want to do with it.
Okay.
I was just going through my little list here,
but but.
Okay.
Something I want to mention that also, if you,
Want to mute or unmute yourself,
you could use a shortcut on your keyboards.
Okay. Look here.
Alt e should mute me.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Can you.
Can you try it?
Say it's working for you.
My spacebar.
If I hold it down, I'm on a mac.
And so if I hold down my spacebar and I'm holding it down while I talk right
now, it will unmute. It takes.
It has a tiny delay to it, but as soon as I let go.
So it has it like a half second delay before it unmute.
So that can be helpful.
If you have a number of students
and you're having a discussion instead of people talking over each other,
you know, just get them used to being able to use the spacebar.
I think out a worked also. Maybe not.
I know there is some other key command, but I couldn't get it to work,
which is optional.
But it's not.
Command isn't on Macintosh.
The command hey, that's alt.
Option and alt or the two that play against each other on a mac keyboard
versus a windows, and command and command and control are opposite each other.
Well, nothing's working for me.
You might if you're trying to unmute yourself, you have to der.
You're muted now.
Now try and unmute.
So it's a combination shift command.
That's it okay.
You're on a you're on a mac.
Yeah okay.
Okay.
And so that is all I have on my list for the basics here.
If is there any questions anybody has or rob
or say do you know anything you'd like to share or.
Did you want to show multiple screens
how people would view multiple screens at one time?
Yeah. Where is that somewhere not going into.
Sorry.
Let me just open this can of worms and.
Yeah, that's the danger. Danger.
So let me see if I go to.
Where is it at?
Share your screen.
I'll share mine.
Okay.
So the option to share multiple screens is under that
teeny tiny arrow that's next to the share button.
So you click on that tiny arrow, and then you can change it to multiple
participants can share.
And what's interesting and weird about this,
you do have to share your entire monitor.
But if you have your Zoom window open, you'll see at the top
that there's now tab. So say Zoom Workplace.
It'll say meeting and it'll say say says say Dempsey's screen.
And then if I share my screen as well,
you should see three tabs at the top
now meeting say screen and then RGB screen.
And so like if in a class if you wanted to line up presenter
or something like that, or if students are collaborating,
they could actually share multiple screens
and just without sharing and resharing and like oh, shares
share your screen, say, oh no, I'm gonna share my screen.
Now go back and forth.
Everyone has to kind of be savvy with Zoom for this to work,
but then we could just switch without, you know, saying anything.
I get a switch to say, screen and back to my screen without her
having to unshare or stop sharing or anything like that.
So better for small groups.
Or like I said, if you're doing
like student presentations for like that, if you want to line people up, but
just a feature, we've, we've, heard some confusion around it before.
So it can also be helpful if you're,
I've heard of people in meetings
that someone was sharing on the screen and they couldn't find the shared screen.
Look for that tab across the top, because even if only one person is sharing,
you should be able to see the meeting tab versus the the person's tab at the top.
I don't see a small arrow or screen.
At the bottom.
You won't have it because you're not a host of this meeting.
So if you start your own meeting, you'll see a little teeny tiny,
arrow chevron right next to the green arrow.
It's really stay right there, Karen.
It's right. Here.
This little. Tiny, tiny, tiny arrow there.
Got it.
And you can do it on your own.
So if you just start a Zoom meeting, you can you can see the option there.
There's one other setting
that could be interesting.
Let me see here.
I can change this option.
Let me see if it shares correctly.
Okay.
You can see my screen.
Rob, what I'm trying to show is how you can have a picture of yourself,
in front.
Yeah, you have it.
Okay. I was sure if you were. Able to see it.
Yeah. So, like.
Yeah, when you share your screen here where that option is now
the just one of these.
Is under under share.
Is it under advanced.
She ordered girl group.
Oh yeah.
It's in the upper right hand corner.
It's you.
We can't really share it.
Show that, can you?
At screen.
Let me.
I just created a snapshot of it.
I just got to pull it back up.
Go for it to it.
That's exactly what I was going to do.
So in, when you hit share, say is going to share screen in a second.
But when you hit share over in the right hand corner of the shared space area,
you can choose a picture in picture style
so you can have yourself over
whatever it is you're presenting.
And beyond
that, you can you can change the layout so you can move your person around.
So you could do this actually, without even,
anyone else in the Zoom session with you.
So you could use this or record or presentation if you wanted to do that.
And, like Karen was doing earlier,
you saw her outline over the shared screen.
I also wanted to this is something else that I like to do that a lot of people
don't do is under the advanced tab up here, you have the ability.
One of the options underneath there is the ability to,
share a portion of your screen.
So, I know Art knows exactly what I'm talking about, but some people will.
They share their screen, they're sharing everything
on their screen, their whole giant monitor.
And the document they're sharing is like a portion,
I guess, barely a third of the monitor.
And then people have to Zoom in and Zoom out, all over the place.
Right.
So instead of instead of sharing the entire screen or the entire application,
if you go under advance and say, share a portion of my screen,
you can draw a selection just around what you want to share,
which is is quite nice.
To give you an
example of what that might look like
if you want to stop sharing. So,
if I shared this screen, you're going to see everything.
But if I wanted you to read this text, it's it's a lot smaller.
So instead, if I do the share and I choose advance
and I choose a portion of the screen, I get the ability.
Then you hit share at the bottom,
I get the ability to move a window around and resize it.
So forgive me while I resize this, window a little bit,
but then what I see on my screen
is my whole monitor I originally shared.
But now you're
only seeing part of the text, and then I can scroll inside that text.
And so you're seeing it large, but it's just a
very, very small portion of, of the screen that I'm looking at.
So that
that's a little advanced tip for you there.
Well, that's an advanced tip that, a lot of people between
presentations would be,
would would do well in knowing how to work that because we're
all sitting here in these meetings, you know, trying to see these tiny little.
Yeah, I'll, I'll often in like in large meetings, I'll, I'll ask for the,
the rights to do the sharing myself like, let me, let me do it.
I'll share. So.
Okay.
And so that's all I have.
If anybody has any questions.
Thank you very much.
This was great. You are welcome.
Thanks, Karen.
Great job.
Thank you so
already.
Bye. Bye bye.
