For remote classes through Zoom, your professor will send out a link to join the Zoom classroom
If prompted with a dialog box while joining, click the “Open Zoom Meetings” option.
You will be shown a “Video Preview” tab where you will have the option to join the classroom with or without video. Join according to the instructions from your professor.
Setting up audio
If prompted, be sure to click “Join with Computer Audio” to participate in class conversation.
Using or needing headphones?
If you cannot find a quiet space for your class session, be sure to use headphones. Headphones are available for checkout in the Media Lab in the South Basement of Chambers, contact Thomas Espenschied
Click the carrot or up arrow (“^”) next to the audio button (microphone in the bottom left of the taskbar) to toggle a menu. Then select your headphones for both microphone and speaker.
Audio Tips:
Your professor will likely have default audio settings, such as having all call participants muted at the beginning of the Zoom session
You are muted when the microphone (lower-left corner) is crossed out
Stay muted if you are not talking to avoid background noise

Participating in a Zoom class
To view options for class interaction, click on "Participants" on the bottom tool bar
The Participants feature opens a toolbar that allows you to see who is on the call, and send quick messages to your professor (go slower/faster, yes/no, etc).
Your professor may have the option to "raise your hand" enabled, which is visible on the participant toolbar
To send messages to your class without using audio, use the "Chat" on the toolbar
