* Zoom helpful hints from Don Hotz, UCCA Treasurer and Zoom meeting host:
- Meeting participants will initially be admitted into the meeting “waiting room”. I will move participants from there to the meeting itself. Participants will be muted on entry, and will need to “raise their hands” to be recognized to speak. Thanks for your courtesy!
- Downloading the Zoom app to your device seems to give the best results. You may register for free and minimize the amount of follow-up email by choosing your email notification preferences.
- The Participants button is at the bottom center of the Zoom video screen. Use this button to get both a list of participants and to expose the “Raise Hands” feature at the bottom.
- Leave your device muted during the meeting; this helps keep extraneous background sounds from interfering with the meeting.
- I will enable the meeting about 5:45 PM. For those who have not used Zoom before in a formal meeting setting, I will be available to help you test your meeting connection.
