- Schedule a Zoom meeting at ucsb.zoom.com - use your UCSB NetID credentials.
- <<options for the zoom meeting? Waiting room etc.?>>
- Require Lab Users/Attendees use a desktop/laptop computer to join, not just phone. They will need to see details on the screen and possibly take notes.
- Ensure you are connecting from a high-speed internet connection, eg. on-campus and wired (not Wifi). You will be streaming video to attendees, so this is important!.
- The Video Training Workstation in the conference room is set up for this, with web cam.
- Require all attendees to have video ON during the entire training.
- This verifies that all participants are present and paying attention - local school/college teachers found this was necessary!
- Use the Zoom > Participants > "Mute All" button
- Let users know they can unmute themselves whenever needed, to ask questions. Just pause the video when someone asks.
- Share your computer Screen:
- Hide or Close all your other programs or apps open on your computer.
- On the Zoom Toolbar, click the "Share Screen [↑] " button
- Enable the "Optimize for Video Clip" and "Share Computer Sound" checkboxes
- Select "Desktop 1"
- This ensures users can see your mouse moving, instead of selecting only one window.
- Click the "Share" button to start presenting your computer screen live.
- In your regular web browser, load the pre-recorded video:
- The video should be posted on the Tool's wiki page. Just click the link to launch the video.
- If not, you can also find the videos on the GauchoSpace/PanOpto website (GauchoSpace/GauchoCast, NOT "Panopto"), using the Browse option on the left to find it in the NanoFab folder.
- Maximize the window size, and play/pause as needed.
- If users find the screen share to be too blurry to read, try to make the video larger:
- Minimize the bottom-bar showing the video clips
- Full-screen the video, eliminating the side-video (where appropriate).
- If users find the screen share to be too blurry to read, try to make the video larger:
- You can use the [→ ←] button to switch which video is larger, or the [_] button to maximize only one video feed.
- If appropriate, schedule short hands-on followup trainings for the fragile or sensitive parts of the process (eg. Wafer load/unload etc.).
