Tips on preparing for Zoom session:
- Zoom Pro account: https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/file-sharing/zoom/index.html
- Always test any new configuration ahead of time. This includes new cameras, microphones, speakers, headphones, internet connection (i.e. new location), etc.
- When setting up a session for Zoom, we recommend scheduling it in advance using the Schedule option:
This provides the advanced option of hosting the session on Zoom's servers. This allows others to stay connected to the session, even if Zoom on your computer fails.
- Prepare to have any supplementary materials (i.e. PDFs) available on the computer.
- If using an external or secondary monitor, be familiar with the sharing options:
- Familiarize yourself with Whiteboard option in Sharing (see same screenshot above).
Tips on starting and using Zoom session:
- If possible, do not use VPN, as this may slow your connection to Zoom.
- Make sure to use a quiet, well-lit room.
- If possible, use a wired/ethernet connection and disable wireless.
- Use "Sign in with SSO" option to sign-in to Zoom. Provide "ucsd" as the company domain.
