What are the requirements to join Zoom Video Calls?
Qiqo is a “wrapper” around Zoom which provides extra functionality such as additional breakout rooms, notes pages for every breakout, and user profiles so you can learn more about your fellow participants.
When you click a button on Qiqo, Zoom will pop open. Be sure to download Zoom ahead of time.
I'm presenting in Zoom...what are some important things I should know?
Here are some tips for those hosting Zoom meetings for the first time.
Share a Screen
Hosts can share from their computer, everything from documents, spreadsheets, editing programs, to file in your Google Drive. The share button is on the bottom tab, in the middle of the screen. Just click it, and choose which program you want to share.
Pause or resume screen sharing: Alt + S
Mute Everyone
Ambient or background noise can often get in the way of clear communication. The meeting host can hit ⌘Cmd+Ctrl+M (Mac) or Alt+M (PC) to mute everyone on the call at once. Or follow the steps below and click on the mMute All button.

Meeting Recordings
We will be recording the meetings for security and promotional purposes. There is nothing you need to do to enable the recording. We will have it set to record automatically. We are not planning at this time to make those recordings public. We honestly, just don’t have the manpower in our volunteer team to produce and publish all of those presentations.
