• Zoom meetings in centrally bookable video conference enabled rooms are best automatically connected by VAVS - all you need to do is forward the Zoom invite to videoconferencing@jcu.edu.au.
  
  In AV rooms without video conference equipment, the participant(s) is advised to use the in house all-in-one Dell PC or a laptop, to connect to Zoom. Please note the quality of the inbuilt video camera and microphone in the PCs, are not comparable to the equipment in video conference and zoom rooms.

If you are in a videoconference enabled room, connected to Zoom, please avoid connecting to Zoom on the AiO Desktop room PC or a personal portable device (laptop, tablet, smartphone) as this is likely to introduce feedback and will severely compromise the audio quality. Mute the room microphone by using the Cisco remote control. In-room microphones are particularly sensitive and designed to pick up the minutest sounds, ensure you are not rustling papers or tapping pens near these, as the noise can be extremely distracting for remote participants.

• To avoid unwanted surprises when joining a zoom event, it is recommended you test your camera and microphone prior to joining the real event. Make a test call

Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another. Though Zoom provides options for you to get more social with your attendees, your average webinar has one or a few people speaking to an audience.
