Thanks to those who have made a couple practice sessions in zoom. I hope to post / blog about it when time permits.?
Polls
Poll icon disappears from menu bar once answered.
Can¡¯t do a poll, if you are the host who set it up.
¡¤??????Setting up the poll during the meeting resulted in not everyone seeing it.?
¡¤??????In some cases, the poll came up on the phone / iPad but not desktop
¡¤??????Considered if it was a ¡®same name¡¯ issue, ¡®same account¡¯ issue.?
¡¤??????Unresolved.?
¡¤??????To note, there are glitches.?
?
Random zoom tips
Can¡¯t show your Zoom menu bars in share screen unless you set it up in advance on the website. On the website, under settings, its ¡®show zoom windows during screen share¡¯.?
Chat tip: font size increase with command + (mac) and control + (PC)
You can move people around in gallery to the position you like by hovering on the square and moving it. The host can also set this up and its viewed the same by participants.?
?
Breakouts
People joining with older versions of Zoom (or by phone) can¡¯t move themselves to a room or between. However the host can manually move them to a room.?
People can log off upgrade and log back on really nicely and quickly.
¡¤??????From iPad ¨C the Leave Button ¨C once you press it you have option to leave breakout or leave the meeting. Perhaps note this to participants as there is hesitance to press a button that says Leave.?
¡¤??????? Ask for Help ¨C this asks the host to join for help in your breakout. If you are in the main room, the ? button is not available.?
¡¤??????If in breakout and using it as a pseudo plenary, remember no cloud recording. You must assign someone to record and share.?
¡¤??????Our experience with using the ¡®move yourself feature¡¯ in breakouts is that it works however when you change HOST in the middle of a session, the ability to move yourself gets removed. Only the new host can move people (manually).?
¡¤??????When host does breakouts where you move on your own, participant has breakouts in their menu bar (it appears), you need to hover over the number on the right to be asked to join the room of choice.?
?
Joining by phone breakouts:?
¡¤????hosts need to move you, you don¡¯t see broadcasts or hear them. There is warning before room closes and you can leave early by pressing # only once you are notified. ?
Spotlight
-???????Host feature?
-???????Panelists can remove spotlight
-???????Co-host can also set spotlights and remove them.
-???????max 4 on a phone
-???????Best view in speaker mode as puts the people into main view (looks like a panel)
-???????Non-spotlight people can share screen which knocks off the spotlight from the centre.
-???????Only one screen can be shared at a time (to be confirmed in settings, more practice)
-???????When spotlight is on, spotlit people can¡¯t unspotlight themselves (only hosts and co-hosts)
-???????Note: pinning only spotlights on the individual computer, not for everyone.?
You need to have the latest version to see people in front of their slides.
Multiple slide sharing
Screen sharing two people¡¯s slides. People can choose which slides to see in the screen sharing bar ¡®view options¡¯.
Can¡¯t annotate the slides when the New ¡®overlay¡¯ view is on. Can¡¯t annotate the ¡®other¡¯ slides if you are displaying slides.
From the chat:
?
Ordering video view?- Hosts can set up the order of the videos in Gallery mode. e.g. order panelists in the order they speak in.
Sharing music and slides - If someone has music sharing, someone else trying to share slides will take over and stop the music share. You can share slides and music from one account/computer.
Settings:?
¡¤??????On Android, Settings bottom right is the version number.
?
Take care,?
