Zoom Meeting Controls
Joining Audio and Video
When you launch or join a meeting, you will be asked to join both your audio and video. If you need to change your video and audio preferences you can select the arrows next to the microphone and camera preferences.
If you are experiencing trouble with your audio you can select "test speaker and microphone" from the menu next to the microphone icon in the bottom left corner of the meeting.
Viewing Your Participants
You can view all the participants and hosts in the meeting by selecting the "Manage Participants" button.
In this window you can also choose to mute all of your participants as well as unmute them.
Participants will always have the opportunity to unmute themselves.
Here you also have controls over specific participants. If you hover over any name you get the option to mute or unmute as well as make them Host or Co-Host of a meeting.
Using the Chat
The Chat feature is great for sending messages to your entire meeting as well as sending messages privately to individual participants.
The chat defaults to sending to "Everyone." Select that and you can view a drop down list of all participants that you can message.
If enabled in your settings, you can attach files to share with your meeting.
Using Breakout Rooms
Break out rooms allow you to break up your one meeting into multiple meeting rooms. The host can drop in on break out rooms one at a time.
You can choose how many rooms you want and whether or not you want to manually assign participants to a room or if you want Zoom to do it automatically.
As a host you will be able to view all breakout rooms and enter and leave them at any time as well as close all the breakout rooms.
Recording Your Meeting
When setting up your meetings you have the option to automatically record.
If you did not select to automatically record you can select "Record" at the bottom of the screen.
You can choose to record to the computer or the cloud. We suggest recording to the cloud. Cloud recordings can be accessed at tulane.zoom.us Links to an external site..
It may take some time for the recording to be uploaded to your account.
Once a recording has been started you can pause or stop the recording at any time.
