Zoom will display your account name and should have \u201cPro\u201d against it if you click the Profile image in the top right corner.\u00a0IT Services will be able to help install Zoom on your computer if it is not already installed.<\/p>\n<h2>Activate Zoom Account<\/h2>\n<p>Students can enter a webinar rooms 15mins prior to a session starting, but as the host our tutors are recommended to join the webinar earlier and prepare for hosting it.\u00a0To host a UCEM webinar, you will need to activate your Zoom account. Even if you have previously used Zoom with a private account, you will still need to activate your account to access UCEM institutional subscription. Activating your Zoom account video will guide you through this process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/315851892?dnt=1&#038;app_id=122963\" width=\"758\" height=\"426\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Activating your Zoom account\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Zoom terminology may seem confusing at first but remember UCEM webinar is a Zoom meeting.\u00a0\u00a0Zoom Meetings allow your participants to actively take part in the session as opposed to Zoom Webinar, which is almost like a one-way broadcast. We will not be using Zoom Webinars at UCEM hence any session we hold at UCEM is a Zoom Meeting.<\/p>\n<h2>Zoom Controls<\/h2>\n<p>Please follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/201362603-What-Are-the-Host-Controls-\"><strong>Zoom Meeting Controls guide<\/strong><\/a> to get yourself familiarised with the Zoom Controls.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"758\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4w_pRMBEALE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Recording a Webinar<\/h2>\n<p>Zoom allows two options for recording a webinar. However, at UCEM we have only enabled Cloud Recording as this option generates an automatic transcript which improves material accessibility.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/319447441?dnt=1&#038;app_id=122963\" width=\"758\" height=\"426\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Recording a webinar\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Sharing Content (Screen)<\/h2>\n<p>Zoom provides many features to share content. Unlike Blackboard Collaborate where you only had static images of PowerPoint slides, Zoom allows you to use animations and other features in your PowerPoint presentations. Furthermore, if you wanted to play a video, or show an Excel Spreadsheet on your screen, basically any window on your screen can be shared with the students. It is a good idea to open the applications you want to share in the webinar in advance so that once you want to share the application in the webinar it is ready to be shared.\u00a0This video shows how you can share your screen with participants.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/319447452?dnt=1&#038;app_id=122963\" width=\"758\" height=\"426\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Sharing a screen\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can also follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/201362153-How-Do-I-Share-My-Screen\"><strong>How do I share my screen<\/strong><\/a>? guide by Zoom to better understand screen sharing with Zoom.<\/p>\n<h2>Assign and Reclaim Host<\/h2>\n<p>In Zoom webinars you can assign a participant to act as the host\u00a0 or co-host during the webinar. To take back the control you should know how to reclaim your host status. This assign and reclaim host video will show you how to assign and reclaim host status.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/319447428?dnt=1&#038;app_id=122963\" width=\"758\" height=\"426\" frameborder=\"0\" title=\"Reclaiming host status\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Breakout Rooms<\/h2>\n<p>Breakout rooms is a great feature in Zoom to encourage group discussion activities within a webinar.
