Utilizing Zoom (and other video conferencing technologies) wasn't new for me. From the time I started working for MSU, "meeting" in a digital space was a part of my regular work. My role was an educator with MSU Extension where I was one member of a 10-person team with statewide responsibilities (and statewide home bases). I zoomed with my teammates every month, and we utilized the platform for steering committee meetings with youth leaders for our events. Little did I know, these regular parts of my job responsibilities would become my day-to-day. 
 
Covid19 pandemic has created the opportunity (or forced - depending on your perspective) for us to figure out interactions on a platform like Zoom. We have to think more intentionally about things like access, engagement, and active learning when we are planning, facilitating, and participating in video conferencing calls/classes. I was on parental leave during the start of this transition, so my work-from-home via Zoom has been a dive head-first... SO I thought I'd share a couple of the resources that have proven to be helpful to me. 
 
For starters... Zoom Keyboard shortcuts: (these are for a PC, but there are additional shortcuts and MAC specific options here)
Control your audio and video:

Alt + V: Start/Stop video
Alt + A: Mute/unmute audio
Alt + M: Mute/unmute audio for everyone except host
Alt + S: Launch share screen window and stop screen share
Alt + Shift + S: Start/stop new screen share
Alt + T: Pause or resume screen share

Since we're all at home... adding a virtual background can take away any unnecessary pressure to have the room behind you tidy:
Virtual backgrounds: "Hide your office clutter or add some corporate branding with a virtual background during a Zoom Meeting. Users can upload their own images (Zoom recommends that these images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 px) and preview the virtual background to detect any issues before joining the meeting. And soon, Zoom will support Microsoft PowerPoint files as a custom background and the use of a video virtual background, a non-static background for added fun." More tips from Zoomie here. Plus, fun backgrounds from the New York Public Library (and additional virtual background instructions) here.
 
Not all the meetings we're joining are with people we know well.Display Names:
"This is less important when you’re chatting with people you know well, but if you use Zoom to do a lot of sales calls, then this setting will ensure you never accidentally forget the name of the person you’re talking to. Go to Settings > Video and check 'Always display participant’s name on their videos.'" More tips and how to's like this are available here. Another thing I noticed in one of my meetings recently, was a colleague in a meeting updated his "display name" to include his preferred gender pronouns - which I thought was a great idea for meetings with people we might not know well. For example, my displayed name now reads "Makena Neal (she/her/hers)".

The Waiting Room feature allows the host to control when a participant joins the meeting. As the meeting host, you can admit attendees one by one or hold all attendees in the waiting room and admit them all at once. You can send all participants to the waiting room when joining your meeting or only guests, participants who are not on your Zoom account or are not signed in. 
Participants will see the following screen when joining a meeting with Waiting Room enabled:
You can also customize the waiting room screen with your own logo, title and description.
Note:

If the Waiting Room option is enabled, join before host will not work for that meeting.
Webinars do not support Waiting Room. Use a webinar practice session as an alternative.

The ZOOM Meeting and Webinar platforms offer similar features and functionality but have some key differences. Webinars are designed so that the host and any designated panelists can share their video, audio and screen. Webinars allow view-only attendees. They have the ability to interact via Q&A, chat, and answering polling questions. The host can also unmute the attendees.
Meetings versus webinars

Description
Zoom meetings are ideal for hosting more interactive sessions where you’ll want to have lots of audience participation or break your session into smaller groups.
Think of webinars like a virtual lecture hall or auditorium. Webinars are ideal for large audiences or events that are open to the public. Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another. Though Zoom provides options for you to get more social with your attendees, your average webinar has one or a few people speaking to an audience.


Best used for
Small to large groups (2+ participants) for:

Customer-facing meetings
Sales meetings
Training sessions


Large events and public broadcasts (50+ attendees) such as:

Town halls
Quarterly updates
Educational lectures




Typically used by


General employees
Training groups




Event hosts
SVPs and C-Suite




Cost
Free and Paid subscription options available.
