Zoom

Schoolzine Training Session's can be conducted via a program called ZOOM (which operates similar to Skype). It is recommended to have this installed prior to your training session.

1. Prior to your training call, you would have received an email from a Schoolzine staff member outlining what will be required for your training session. Please have a read over this email at least a couple of days before your designated training time.
2. Click on the link provided in the email. This will take you through to an internet browser with a pop up that reads "Open Zoom Meetings?". Please select the "Open Zoom Meetings" button.
   
3. Keep in mind that you do not need to have a ZOOM account to attend a ZOOM meeting. Anyone can join a meeting using ZOOM. (Note: setting up an account is optional.)
4. Afer installation you should have a blue circle icon with a video camera as a program on your desktop.
   
5. When it comes to your designated training time, all that's required is for you to click on the exact same link that you did previously on the email. This should take you through to an internet browser again and then the program will open.
6. Once the program is open, a pop up box should appear for you to "Choose ONE of the audio conference options" for the training session. If you have a headset that's connected to your computer, please select "Join with Computer Audio", as this will allow us to talk over ZOOM (similar to Skype).
   
7. As another option, there is a number that you can call. You will just need to ensure that the country is set to Australia.
   
8. Alternatively, the Schoolzine staff member will give you a phone call on your chosen number and will commence the training session. This is probably the most common method.
9. Once the training session has started, you should be able to view the Schoolzine staff member's computer screen, as they would have now begun sharing their screen with you.

How do I use the Zoom Toolbar?

1. Once you're viewing the Schoolzine staff member's screen, you'll notice that there is a toolbar along the bottom of the screen with some options.
   
2. The Mute option allows you to mute your audio. If the Schoolzine staff member has given you a call on your school number, this can be muted. However, if you have a headset connected and "Join with Computer Audio" was selected earlier, this will need to remain unmuted.
3. The Start Video option won't be needed for any Schoolzine training sessions. This would be used if a webcam was involved.
4. The Invite option allows other people to be invited to the meeting.
5. Participants allows you to view who is currently apart of the meeting. If this is clicked, a list of participants will appear on the right side of your screen.
   
6. The Share button gives you the option to share your screen. Primarily, the Schoolzine staff member will be sharing their screen with you, however you can easily share your screen with us.
7. There is a Chat feature available, for the participants of the meeting to communicate if needed. Once you click on this, a chat box will appear to the right side of your screen.
   
8. The Record option allows you to record the meeting.
9. Leave Meeting means you will now be exiting the meeting. This can be clicked once the Schoolzine staff member advises you that the training session is complete.
