Welcome to using Zoom at the College for Creative Studies. Zoom is a web-based system that combines video conferencing, online meetings, and mobile collaboration into one platform. When you sign up for Zoom you will automatically be given a Basic Account. With the Basic Account you can hold meetings with three or more participants for up to 40 minutes at a time. If your meeting has two participants (host and one additional participant) your call time is unlimited. If your meeting has three or more participants and will take longer than 40 minutes, please contact the Helpdesk with your request for a temporary upgrade to a Licensed Account. This guide will walk you through how to set up your account, schedule a meeting, and manage your audio and video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Audio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you have joined the meeting, a pop-up will appear asking you how you want to join the audio conference \u2013 by computer or by phone. Using the computer audio is recommended. You can choose to test the sound via computer before you join to ensure the audio is clear. If it is not, using a conference phone is suggested. Click the \u201cJoin by phone\u201d button to access the dial in numbers. Once you have selected your audio, in the bottom left corner of the control bar you will see a microphone icon. You can mute and unmute your microphone by clicking the icon. You may also click the arrow to the right of the icon to see more audio preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Managing Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your webcam should connect automatically if you selected video to \u201cOn\u201d for the start of the meeting when you created the meeting invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Participants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Remote participants will enter a \u201cwaiting room\u201d to wait to be admitted to your meeting. The waiting room has CCS branding and a message that their meeting will begin shortly. The Waiting Room feature allows you to admit participants to your meeting when you are ready. If you have back-to-back meetings scheduled, the Waiting Room also keeps participants from joining in the middle of a meeting in progress. You, the host, will receive an audio notification (ding) and the name of the participant when someone has entered the Waiting Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To admit someone from the Waiting Room into the meeting, select the \u201cManage Participants\u201d button from the bottom of the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
This will open a new pane on the right side of the Zoom window labeled \u201cParticipants\u201d from which you can admit attendees in the waiting room to the meeting proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The control bar will remain at the top of your desktop while you are sharing your screen. You can choose to share something new by clicking the \u201cNew Share\u201d icon, or stop sharing your screen by selecting \u201cStop Share.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you choose to share your screen there is also an option to use a Whiteboard for collaboration. To save your Whiteboard in a screen shot, select \u201cSave\u201d in the annotation control bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To save your annotation notes in a screen shot, select save in the annotation control bar. This will save in a folder titled \u201cZoom\u201d in your documents. The files are titled by \u201cYear-Month-Date-Time\u201d to make it easy for you to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To clear your annotations select \u201cClear\u201d in the annotation control bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
