[Board] ZOOM

[stardot at comcast.net]

Pat –

I just logged in with no trouble. The only capital letter is P at the beginning of the password. I was successfully able to identify parking meters although they did try to mess me up with a very parking meter looking mailbox.

 

The only person who has to log in to Zoom is the person who sets up the meeting. Everyone else just clicks on the link they are sent in email or else just goes to the Zoom site and clicks on “Join a Meeting” with no need to log in. Let me know if you want me to set up Thursday’s meeting.

 

As for paying bills, the post office is not forwarding mail to me. I am trying to get hold of Frieda because only she can talk to the post office. I am hoping mail is collecting in the box and not being dumped into the river. I will send a check to WBTSCC.

Hi Doyle,

Wes would like to do a practice zoom for anyone who can attend in the next day or so. 

I tried to log on a number of times and was unsuccessful. I attempted using capital letters and such to see if there was one of those errors but after many tries identifying fire hydrants, buses and bicycles, no luck.

Would you give it a try and see if it works for you?

Any hints would be helpful!

Thankfully yours,

Pat

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
