Google Meet is a great video conferencing option for staff and students alike as it’s built right into your UAlberta account. Google Meet is an easy to use solution that supports screen sharing and you can record your session and upload it right to Google Drive.
Here is a guide to help you get started:
You can change your audio settings prior to joining the meeting. Click on settings.
Still having issues? Google Meet gives you the option of “dial in” or “calling me”. Make sure you use the “call me” feature. If you call into the meeting you will incur long-distance charges.
If you’re looking to record a Video or Screen Recording for your class, try Zoom.
Yes, Zoom is used for Video Conferencing, but it is great at recording as well. You can schedule a meeting and have that meeting with yourself. Record to the Cloud, which will go to your eClass. You can also record directly to your hard drive.
This video show you how to first of all create a sandbox (non-credit personal eClass for you to work with). It also shows you how to create your own sessions.
This video shows you some tips and tricks on how to record using Zoom. You can record yourself (webcam), the screen and your audio.
Click on your Zoom link. The below screenshots are your settings before you enter the virtual meeting. If you are having computer audio issues you could still join the meeting with your camera, and have audio in and out coming from your phone. We recommend using the computer audio but this is a backup for you. Make sure you call the 587 number to reach a Calgary based number, please check your phone plan to see if long distance fees would apply.
