[Board] ZOOM

[stardot at comcast.net]

I have set up a licensed Zoom account for the PYC. This is the paid-for
version, not the free one, so meetings are not restricted in length. I did
not include any of the add-ons but we can add them if we need them. This
account should be used only for PYC business. Only one meeting can be
conducted at a time. 

 

To start a new meeting, log in using the email address
treasurer at portsmouthyc.org <mailto:treasurer at portsmouthyc.org>  with the
password Pyc1938! on the website www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us> . To use
it, one person logs in, selects Host a Meeting at the top of the screen and
invites others to Join by email. You can start the meeting immediately or
schedule it for later. It is not very difficult but it may be slightly
confusing the first time you host and invite. If your computer has a camera
and a microphone, you should always select Use Computer Audio and Video when
you start or join a meeting. I would suggest you try it out - you can
actually host a meeting with no other people so you can see how it works. Be
sure and locate the controls for Mute (the microphone icon) and Stop Video
(the camera  icon) so you know how to use those important functions. During
a meeting you should always be muted unless you are speaking. Turning off
the video (and muting!) allows you to eat something or blow your nose or
whatever without grossing everyone out. There are a bunch  of YouTube videos
that can give you useful instructions. Be sure and End the meeting when you
are done. If it gives you trouble, find a teenager.

 

Thank you,

Doyle
