Zoom Features: Preparing for Live Sessions

Zoom-specific instructions to familiarize yourself with should include:

Testing audio before Zoom Meetings: instructions can be found on this page.

How to use the Zoom waiting from feature: instructions can be found on this page.

How to add Waiting Room Sound Notification: instructions can be found on this page.

How to mute and unmute participants in a meeting: instructions can be found on this page.

How to create and manage breakout rooms: instructions can be found on this page.

You can view a recording of our "Zoom Basics" Overview Session with Pete Garcia on this page.

*Please note that Zoom meetings will be configured to automatically record. The recording is for internal purposes.

At the facilitator's discretion, on a case-by-case basis, the recording can be shared with other students in a course section if it contained a particularly useful demonstration (i.e., most often seen in STEM-related courses).

However, the baseline is for the recording not to be shared as we would like to encourage live participation.
