We will be using Zoom for Lab Instruction as well as TA Office Hours.

  * Go to [[http://zoom.byu.edu/ | BYU's Zoom Portal]] to login to your profile. (BYU IS Info has [[ https://lsinfo.byu.edu/downloading-zoom-client|very straightforward instructions]] on how to download Zoom)

  * Zoom has [[https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials |comprehensive training videos]] that walk you through much of Zoom's basic functionality
  
  * The [[:ta_schedule|TA Schedule]] has individual links for joining each of the TAs Zoom Meetings. Use these links to get help from a TA during their posted hours. 
  
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with Zoom before the first Zoom lab you attend. You can do this by doing the following:
  - __Start a meeting:__((In general, you won't need to start meetings yourselves, but #1 and #2 enable your completion of #3 - #5.)) Go in and start a fake meeting of your own so you can practice using Zoom's tools
  - __Record:__ Click the button at the bottom of the window to turn on recording
  - __Test Functionality:__ Experiment with your "Test Speaker and Microphone" functionality to make sure your set up is functioning
  - __Share Screen:__ Practice sharing your screen - this is vital, as it will be how TAs can best help you with your labs, simulations, and code.
  - __End Meeting / View Recording:__  Go back and watch the video to see what was actually transmitted to the meeting participants.
