How to Use Zoom:
We encourage participants to use their computers, rather than their phones, to connect to Zoom for the best interactive Symposium experience.
To join Zoom on your computer:
Click the Zoom link to the Symposium calendar invite.
Click “Open Zoom meetings” in the pop-up window if it not immediately prompted.
When the pop-up window with audio options appears (pictured below), please click “Test Speaker and Microphone” to ensure your audio is working.
Once you have verified that your audio works, click “Join with Computer Audio”.
Your camera and microphone will be automatically disabled upon arrival. To enable your camera and microphone, click the camera and microphone icons at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Note: Please ensure you are muted while speakers are talking.
To ask a question, please use the Zoom chat box. You can access the chat box by clicking on the “Chat” Icon at the bottom center of the screen.
Zoom Etiquette:
To help keep background noise to a minimum, make sure you mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
Be mindful of background noise
When your microphone is not muted, avoid activities that could create additional noise, such as shuffling papers, typing, or moving around.
Position your camera properly
If you choose to use a web camera (the camera that is automatically built into your computer, laptop, or tablet), be sure it is in a stable position and focused at eye level, if possible. Doing so helps create a more direct sense of engagement with other participants.
Limit distractions
You can make it easier to focus on the meeting by turning off notifications, closing or minimizing running apps, and muting your smartphone.
Avoid multi-tasking
You'll retain the discussion better if you refrain from replying to emails or text messages during the meeting and wait to work on that PowerPoint presentation until after the meeting ends.
Prepare materials in advance
If you will be sharing content during the meeting, make sure you have the files and/or links ready to go before the meeting begins. A list of the hand outs can be found on the New Strategies Symposium website.
Be ready
You will be asked to turn on your video and unmute periodically throughout the Symposium. Please be prepared to be visible at any moment.
While we are on that topic, more light is better. Your video quality will improve with more lighting. Make sure the light is in front of you, not behind you. Backlighting will make it harder to see.
External factors
We understand “some informal check-ins and chit-chat” might occur during the Symposium. Please limit multitasking or interruptions as much as possible.

Set aside time to test your tech
Make sure you do a test run at some point, and that you’re aware of your audio and video settings before you start. Most video conference services allow you to see a test of what your camera is recording before you start broadcasting it to everyone else, so have it arranged the way you want it. Zoom, for instance, has a feature that lets you test your settings before your meetings begin: just go to zoom.us/test.

Instructions for Breakout Sessions:
Throughout the Symposium, you will be placed in the breakout sessions. We encourage all participants to enable their cameras to facilitate a conversation that is as engaging as possible. When entering your breakout sessions:
Ensure your camera and microphone are enabled.
Note: please mute yourself while facilitators are speaking.
Use the chat box to ask any questions or share comments while the facilitator is speaking
