Wednesday’s Guest Speaker was Junichi giving us a Zoom tutorial. He went over the basics such as virtual backgrounds, how to set up a presentation, participants and chat and other items. Zoom is compatible with many devices, just the interface might be a little different. If you see a black background the version is old and you will want to update your application. To create a virtual background you can use the backgrounds provided or upload an image from your computer by clicking on “add image”. Junichi suggested setting up your background prior to entering the meeting but if you want to change it during the meeting simply click on the carrot by the “start video” icon. To set up speakers, microphone, or headphones click on audio and chose the device from the dropdown menu and click on the test button to make certain it is working correctly. If you want to see the participants or the chat option click on the “participants” button. If you don’t see the button it may be hidden under “more”. To share your windows click on the “share screen” button then choose the power point you want and click share. To end sharing click on the red “stop share” button. Other pointers Junichi shared are to keep the presentation simple, prepare before your presentation, restart Windows before joining the meeting, update Zoom and Windows when prompted and test your devices to see what the screen sharing looks like. Be prepared and happy Zoom life!
