Zoom Setup

1. Schedule all course Zoom meetings for the semester (instructions, see Video #1)

   • • Regular/reoccurring class times

     • Office hours

     • Other events (e.g., mock capstone showcase, virtual coffee chats)

2. Determine if teaching team member (e.g., GSI, proctor) should be a host, co-host, or alternative host (see Video #2)

   • • Host: has all hosting privileges and controls

     • Co-host: assigned by host during a meeting; has limited hosting privileges and controls (e.g., cannot start a meeting for the host)

     • Alternative host: pre-assigned by host in meeting settings to have all hosting privileges and controls; de facto host upon starting meeting until original host both joins meeting* (alternative host then becomes a co-host)

* Optional Reclaim Host when rejoining: when the original host of a meeting rejoins, they will have the option to reclaim host controls or remain as a participant or co-host, in order to not disrupt the current host.

3. (If needed) Review student requests for Zoom accessibility/accommodations

   • • If a student has a Letter of Accommodation (LOA) for captioning or captioned media accommodation, the UC Berkeley Disabled Students’ Program (DSP) will provide ADA-compliant captioning services. After uploading the recording to bCourses, you can email (dsp@berkeley.edu or dsp-captioning@berkeley.edu) a link to the recording and they will take care of the captioning, usually within 24 hours.

     • Please note that Zoom, Kaltura and YouTube’s automated captioning and live transcription services are not ADA-compliant.

4. (Optional) Delegate teaching team member (e.g., GSI, proctor) "Scheduling Privilege" to schedule Zoom meetings on your behalf (instructions)

   • • Please note that the delegated member will be able to see all your scheduled Zoom meetings.
