In many ways a Zoom workshop is like a face-to-face class. The section below offers useful tips to ensure that the Zoom Workshop goes smoothly for all.
Before the meeting
▪ Make sure you have the full joining details for the Zoom (including any passwords, if one has been issued).
▪ Find a quiet space without interruptions or background noise, and ideally with a clean and appropriate background and good lighting on your face so you can be seen clearly. Try to avoid backlighting from bright windows.
▪ Adjust your camera to around eye level, if possible. Take note of the angle of your tablet or laptop screen if using the built in camera.
▪ Click on the link sent to you in the meeting invitation, or go to www.zoom.us and click the “join meeting” button and enter the meeting ID.
▪ If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, plan to join early to familiarise yourself with features you may wish to use in the meeting (e.g., mute/unmute, stop/start video, raise hand, screen share, etc.)
During the meeting
▪ Have your video on unless you are experiencing connection issues.
▪ Mute your microphone when you are not talking.
▪ Use “Speaker View” to focus on the speaker, or “Gallery View” to see everyone taking part.
After the meeting
▪ Click on the “leave the meeting” button at the foot of your screen when leaving the session.
