Virtual Webinars and Meetings

The ULC’s video-conference in July will be using the Zoom app. To participate, (a) your device (desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) must meet specific requirements and (b) you must be prepared to participate.

Audio connection only by telephone will not be available.

Here are the technical requirements:

The desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device that you will be using must have an internet connection – broadband wired, or wireless (3G, 4G/LTE or 5G) There must be both an audio and a video feature. Most newer computers have built-in speakers and video. You will find that the audio works much better if you use a headphone that plugs into the device. Video will come from either a built-in camera or a USB plug-in.

Once you have downloaded the software to your desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device, it is time to test your connection and equipment. This is important to do this prior to participating in any video-teleconference with the ULC. Zoom has provided a test meeting that will enable you to practice connecting and using the different features of the meeting platform. More importantly, this will also enable you to test your microphone, webcam, connection reliability, and device performance.

Once you have established a connection to the Test Meeting, you can further test your audio and video capabilities to ensure your equipment functions as necessary.

-Audio-

It is important to note that these video-teleconferences will NOT have a dial-in feature for the telephone. All participants will be required to connect their audio via their computer or tablet/smartphone app. For better quality, it is recommended that headphones or earbuds be used in lieu of tabletop speakers, phone speakers, or laptop speakers. Doing so will help prevent feedback and echo problems during the meeting and enable the listener the ability to hear the entirety of the video-teleconference.
