When you're ready to join a Zoom meeting, check your meeting invite for either a Join link or a Meeting ID number.

To join your meeting you may either click on the Meeting Link or copy the Meeting ID and navigate to zoom.stockton.edu, click on "Join Meeting" and paste your Meeting ID into the appropriate field.

Next, you'll be presented with a web page that will either attempt to open an existing Zoom installation or will prompt you to download and install Zoom. Follow the on-screen instructions to open the Zoom client and enter your online meeting.

 

If this is your first time using Zoom, we suggest that you do a "dry run" with Zoom's Test Meeting - you can access the Test Meeting at https://zoom.us/test. If you encounter any issues or have any questions about accessing Zoom, please contact the IT Services Help Desk at 609-652-4309 or by e-mail at helpdesk@stockton.edu

To schedule a zoom meeting, navigate to stockton.edu/zoom, login to your account, and click on the “SCHEDULE A MEETING” link in the upper left corner of the page.

  

You will then be taken to a page that will allow you to fill out necessary details to schedule your meeting. Be sure to set the meeting's time zone to the appropriate location - Stockton's local time is GMT-5 "Eastern Time".

After scheduling the meeting, you will be brought to the meeting details page. From here you can add the meeting to your Outlook calendar and invite attendees. To invite attendees, click on the "Copy the Invitation" link; the resulting pop-up window will contain a template that can be copied and e-mailed to attendees.

Please see the video HERE for a detailed step by step process on how to schedule a meeting. 

To begin, open up your web browser and navigate to your Blackboard course section. Click on the + icon at the top of the course navigation menu and select the option “Tool Link”. 

 

Next, give the new Tool Link a name (ex. “Zoom”), choose the tool type “Zoom Meeting” from the drop-drown menu, and check the box “Available to Users”.

 

A new link will be available in your course menu, click on it to navigate to the Zoom tool. This interface may be familiar to those who have already logged into Zoom through the zoom.stockton.edu page. To create a Zoom meeting, click on “Schedule a New Meeting”.

 

 

Give your Zoom meeting a topic that matches its purpose, then modify any necessary date and time settings. To finalize the meeting, scroll down and click “Save”. 

 

To invite students and guests to the meeting, click on “Copy the Invitation” to generate a complete e-mail template with all relevant meeting details. This template can be pasted into an e-mail or Blackboard announcement for distribution.

 

Back in the main menu, there are two useful tabs that bear mentioning: “Previous Meetings”, which encompasses all previous meetings attached to your account... 

 

You will also find “Cloud Recordings” where meeting recordings are stored and can be downloaded for 120 days.

 

For additional information on Zoom, check out Zoom’s online help center.

 

When joining your meeting, you’ll have the ability to select your audio source and test your microphone and speakers.

 

As a host, you can also mute incoming participants. 

For more details on how to adjust your audio levels see the video HERE on how to setup your sound for a Zoom meeting.    

To record a zoom meeting toggle the record button at the bottom of the window.

   Note:
   • If you have a local recording that hasn't been converted to a video file yet, click Convert to convert the recording to a video file and display the options below.
   • If you only see the Open option, it means the recording is a cloud recording.

Video conferencing is a versatile tool to host synchronous discussions, whether for a meeting, a class, or catching up with friends. These quick and easy steps will help you conduct a smooth and productive video meeting.

 Mute yourself when not speaking

If you’re not actively speaking, mute your microphone to make sure ambient sounds such as coworkers, pets, or appliances don’t leak in and distract from the person speaking.

 

 Minimize interruptions

Silence your phone and try to work in a quiet environment, reducing the chances of you or another participant being interrupted mid-discussion.

 

 Reduce or remove distracting imagery

A cluttered or busy background can often be a source of distraction. Two easy fixes are to tidy up the room behind you or use a virtual background feature if available. Stockton University provides a selection of neutral background images to use in your video conference here.

 

 Wear headphones

Headphones help to isolate sound, simultaneously making it easier to hear other participants and preventing microphone feedback. A headphone-microphone set is particularly useful for video calls, as it keeps the microphone closer to your mouth to improve audio clarity.

 

 Don’t talk over other participants

Discussions can quickly become difficult to follow with multiple people speaking in a video conference. If you wish to interject, raise your hand or use a “hand-raise” feature/button when available.

 

 Be an active host

Not all participants will follow rules or video conference etiquette. Hosts have the ability to mute or remove participants who are disruptive.

Though Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars provide comparable features, there are some differences to be aware of when deciding which tool best suits your need. Below you will find a key feature comparison and a use case comparison chart.

 

Use of Zoom meetings or webinars should also be considered based on the experience you want to provide for your participants. Meetings are more interactive and provide different ways for participants to engage. Webinars provide the host the opportunity to have full control over presenting to a very large group with full permissions to manage the webinar, panelists, and attendees.

To request a webinar link for your event, please use our Webinar Request Form. If you have any questions about the form or the process of requesting a webinar, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 609-652-4309 or by email at HelpDesk@stockton.edu.

Zoom offers the ability to provide live automatic speech recognition (ASR) transcripts in real time for meetings and webinars. The feature provides the ability to show in-session ASR transcriptions of all spoken content, based on the session audio. Transcriptions appear during the meeting or webinar in a side panel visible to all participants. Click here for more info!
