Zoom and Kaltura Media Gallery Tips and Tricks

Zoom Best Practices

• Restart/reboot your computer before the start of your meeting, at least within the prior 24 hours.

• Test to ensure you have a fast, stable internet connection. Wired connection is recommended; use wireless only if it is reliable. This will help ensure your connection does not falter or drop during the meeting. Avoid using any form of free public wi-fi (i.e., coffee shops, hotels, etc.).

• Secure a quiet, distraction-free physical location to attend your session.

• Do not join the session from a cell phone while driving/commuting in a car. The live sessions in this course require you to be an active participant, and many of the planned live-session activities cannot adequately be performed on a mobile device.

• Avoid having more than one computer or device within earshot logged into the same meeting, as it may cause a distracting echo effect for ALL participants in the session.

• Use a headset, not desktop speakers. This will help to ensure an echo-free meeting environment. Better yet, use a USB media headset which also includes a microphone. Connect it, and let the driver install BEFORE entering the online meeting.
