Quick Tips While You Using Zoom

If you want to participate in "live" Zoom sessions for class meetings, office hours, or group discussions, you will minimally need a phone from which to call in.
If possible, use a computer with webcam and audio capabilities so that you can see and communicate with your instructor, classmates, and see any thing shared on screen. Phones can also be used for audio and video capabilities. Explore the Internet & Device Access page if you are concerned about reliable access to either.
Your instructor will send you a link to join their Zoom meeting. To join, just click the link and it will walk you through what you need to join the meeting. You do not need to download any software, though a mobile app is available for ease-of-use.
You may also want to utilize Zoom for group discussions, projects, or online presentations. To schedule your own meetings, simply sign into to your account using your TrueYou login and password and follow the steps outlined in the below videos.
- Please note Zoom is best for recording synchronous discussions with groups; VidGrid is best for recording your screen or yourself for later annotations or editing. See Tips for Online Presentations for more helpful hints.
