Instructions for downloading and installing Zoom on your personal device.
All students, faculty and staff can host and record their own Zoom meetings. You can start a Zoom meeting for multiple participants or just yourself if you want to record a screenshare. Zoom cloud recordings automatically transfer to your Kaltura media library for longer-term storage.
Every single faculty member, student and staff member understand how to verify that they are signed in to Zoom using SSO single-sign on.
This ensures features such as unlimited meeting times, recording and breakout rooms will work correctly.
If you record to the cloud, your Zoom recording should automatically transfer to Kaltura, Chico State's media server. However, if Kaltura is having prolonged issues, you can share a direct link to the zoom recording from the Chico State Zoom portal. Warning: the Zoom cloud recordings are only valid for 30 days.
After recording a Zoom Meeting to the cloud you can access, review and edit the full audio transcript and captions through your Chico Zoom Portal.
The meeting host can enable participants to choose their own breakout room. This helps make breakout rooms easier to manage.
How to highlight, and point out things on your screen share using annotation tools such as arrow, disappearing pen, etc.
Breakout rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions. The meeting host or co-host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, or they can allow participants to select and enter breakout sessions as they please. The host or co-host can switch between sessions at any time. Although Zoom Support has good information on managing breakout rooms, we wanted to highlight a few limitations for you here.
Your Personal Meeting Room is a virtual meeting room permanently reserved for you that you can access with your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) or personal link, if applicable.
Zoom has an automatic captioning feature which can be enabled through your Zoom Account. The feature allows for live transcriptions during meetings and the ability to save the meeting transcript as an editable, search-able document.
Tip: For most course-related Zoom meetings, it will be helpful to know the the meeting passcode in advance.
