Zoom Tips

Judy’s Tips

APCUG’s Judy Taylour has graciously shared her tips on using Zoom, whether you are a host, a participant, whether you want to share your screen, assign a co-host, and how to use the Zoom taskbar.

For Zoom participants (everyone):

For Zoom hosts (workshop leaders and presenters)

If you don’t want to read any of these helpful files, there is ONE thing you need to use: the Zoom test link. Click on this link (opens in a new page or tab) and test your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Practice using the Zoom controls until you feel comfortable.

Thank you, Judy!

Joining a TechEdConnect Zoom meeting

TechEdConnect needs your full name. Names like “iPad”, “Bob”, “jhk”, or anything similarly unidentifiable, is not a recognizable name, and does not contribute to our friendly environment.

After being admitted to the meeting, right click on your own image and select “Rename”, then type in your First AND Last name. You can check the box “Remember my name for future meetings” if you so desire. Then click the “Change” button.

Please do this within a reasonable amount of time, or you run the risk of being placed back into the waiting room.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Happy Zooming!
