Tips

• Starting a new meeting?  Test your speakers and microphone.
• Trying to add Zoom to Canvas and getting an error message saying your email does not exist?  Most likely you logged in using your Yale email as a personal account.  Just Register your email.
• Using Zoom for Class Instruction. (30 minute video)
• Pre-record your class and upload to Canvas.  Use Zoom session for class discussion.
• Record your class, upload it to canvas and/or email to students with degraded internet connections.
