Improved Zoom Features
Recently Zoom has upgraded some features and we wanted to reach out and let you know what those are.
First off, to access any of these features you must upgrade to the newest version of Zoom which is (as of 10/1/20) version 5.3.1.
The quickest way to do that is to go to https://zoom.us/download and click download.
New features-
- Multiple people can be spotlighted at the same time. Perfect for panel discussions or group projects.
- Customize your gallery view. As a host, this allows you to move the videos of your participants in any order you prefer and then push that view onto your participants so they see the room the same way. (requires Zoom desktop client 5.2.2 or later for host and participants)
- Self-selecting Breakout Rooms. The host can now create breakout rooms with the option for participants to self-select which breakout room they would like to join. If enabled, participants can move freely between breakout rooms, without needing the host’s help. Both the meeting host and participants need to be on Client 5.3.0 or later to self-select Breakout Rooms.Here is a really good videoon ways to use this feature in class.
Videos saved to the Zoom Cloud Storage
...
* Consider deleting (examples): recordings of regular meetings from completed Spring classes; recordings of routine departmental meetings with completed minutes
* Consider downloading and storing locally or on Drive: recordings or transcripts needed for ongoing work. Examples: audio and chat transcripts from a routine meeting; Recordings of meetings or events that may have historic archival value, such as commencement events, guest lectures, or major campus announcements. (Note that many events are already available on the Drew YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/drewuniversity)
* Consider keeping on Zoom: recordings in active use that are linked from other websites. Examples: faculty development sessions linked from shared faculty Moodle pages

If you've already successfully completed one of these sections, skip to the next one.
Note: If you have students whose first language is not English, they may find the "Audio transcript" file helpful - but make sure they know that those files are not completely accurate and can sometimes confuse the reader instead of helping.
