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

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with Zoom before the first Zoom lab you attend. You can do this by doing the following:

  1. Start a meeting:1) Go in and start a fake meeting of your own so you can practice using Zoom's tools
  2. Record: Click the button at the bottom of the window to turn on recording
  3. Test Functionality: Experiment with your “Test Speaker and Microphone” functionality to make sure your set up is functioning
  4. 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.
  5. End Meeting / View Recording: Go back and watch the video to see what was actually transmitted to the meeting participants.

In general, you won't need to start meetings yourselves, but #1 and #2 enable your completion of #3 - #5.
