From wtweller at comcast.net Wed Nov 25 13:45:10 2020 From: wtweller at comcast.net (Whitney T Weller) Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 15:45:10 -0500 Subject: [Board] ZOOM In-Reply-To: <03cd01d6c29d$5d15eba0$1741c2e0$@comcast.net> References: <03cd01d6c29d$5d15eba0$1741c2e0$@comcast.net> Message-ID: <008f01d6c36b$e3e067e0$aba137a0$@comcast.net> Thanks Doyle; I am used to using Zoom so I should be okay. I spoke with Christina and we thought it might be a good idea to have people put all the meetings on a google calendar that Chris has set up on the website. In that way we could keep track of who was using the Zoom connection when. We'll have to experiment with ways to avoid conflict, but I think it will be okay. I use the same Zoom login on each of my 3 work computers and the program simply logs out one if another computer wants to start a meeting. The curious thing is that if a Zoom meeting is happening when the second request is made the first meeting continues uninterrupted. Thus we may well be able to have simultaneous meetings going with the same account. Will definitely have to try that out. If it works, it will solve some conflict problems.

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 with the password Pyc1938! on the website 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.
