Tips regarding Zoom: please read even if you’re familiar with Zoom
1. Download the Zoom app. https://zoom.us/ It will work on PCs, laptops, tablets or smart phones but the larger the screen size the better the experience.
2. Click on the link in the Zoom link email to join the meeting and if required, enter the ID and password information for the meeting. You can’t join the meeting until the host has opened it.
3. Microphone and Camera. Turn on your Microphone when prompted. Turn on your Camera when prompted (white video camera icon) or if you do not wish to be seen you can turn your camera off. N.B You don’t need a microphone or camera to take part, just speakers or headphones. But make sure these are on!
4. Gallery/Speaker View: Once you’ve joined the meeting choose between Gallery View (which shows small screens of all participants – good for seeing your friends and who else is present) or Speaker View (best once the presentation starts).
5. Mute/Unmute (the small microphone symbol) Your microphone will be Muted by the Host once the presentation begins but you can Unmute yourself at any point eg, to applaud or ask a question at the end.
6. Chat (the white speech bubble symbol usually at the bottom of the black Zoom screen, or under 3 dots on IPads). This allows you to type a question to Everyone or to just one participant. Or it can be used to send a message during the presentation.
7. Questions: These will be taken at the end of the presentation from messages written into Chat, or if you are invited to speak.
