Polling Using Zoom

Image
This is a failure for me. I cannot login at another location. Many students also need to login using their phones for their microphones and camera.    https://youtu.be/erz4xtQHoVs http://www.bu.edu/engit/files/2020/03/Joerg_Polls.pdf     Use “polling” for interactive teaching or quizzes Zoom has a “Poll” function that allows you to let your students (participants) answer multiple choice questions. You can use this during a class similar to an iClicker to obtain feedback on the students’ understanding and attention. You could also use it as a way to quiz your students, since the answers can be recorded with identification of each student.   1. Make sure to enable “ Polling ” in your profile settings : bostonu.zoom.us/ profile/setting   2. After creating a meeting, go to your online meeti ng menu: bostonu.zoom.us/meeti ngs   17. To get a report of the answers that individual students gave (e.g. for using it as a quiz or other grading options), go to your o nline account to “Reports” (

Solving OBS Problems

Preview Screen  I suffer from scaling issues when using OBS. Probably because I have a 4K monitor. Transform and Filters did not seem to work. The best solution could bbe the preview scaling. Use the scale to Window instead of the default, or if you have problems previewing. Learning If you want a quick tutorial, maybe go for this 30 minute tutorials. This could be the latest, published in June 2020. I did not finish this tutorial because it explains all the functions. It is not about troubleshooting.

How to Use a Virtual Background in Zoom for Android

  https://www.howtogeek.com/691950/how-to-use-a-virtual-background-in-zoom-for-android/ How to Use a Virtual Background in Zoom for Android  Not all Android devices can have virtual background. My Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro cannot have a virtual background. It is not a great loss because I can use the phone at a different location where I can avoid sensitive items in the room. I can also use the mobile phone as a second camera so that students can see myself at a different angle. However, this view is not visible in the recorded share with speaker view format.    

Zoom Cloud Recording Options

 Zoom allows many options of recording but only for cloud recording. Unfortunately cloud recording is limited to 1GB for a Pro account. Other accounts are not good for individuals because you must purchase a minimum number of 10 hosts. The Pro account limits on cloud recording. The file sizes of all options. If you record it with the speaker, file size is 8 times that of just the shared screen. The shared screen only uses up 227 MB of video. The gallery view in Zoom uses 1.9 GB, 1280 x 720. OBS uses up 220 MB in 1280 x 720, for 2 hours. You cannot change the resolution in Zoom but OBS output resolution can be changed. Conclusion The shared screen view is safely recorded by Zoom in the cloud. You cannot record it by using the local recording. This is the best way of recording because it uses up 100 MB per hour, but it does not have the speaker video. Local recording by Zoom uses up 1 GB per hour. No other option except shared screen with speaker view and will need a few hours to convert
