FAQ
Q: Computer: How do I see everyone while the class, attending?
A: Computer: On top right corner of Zoom screen, you will see Gallery View or Speaker View option. When you are in Speaker View, the button will say Gallery View, indicating that if you push the button it will change into that view, and vice versa.
In Gallery view, you will see everyone in the session. In Speaker View you will see only the person currently speaking. This view changes only for you, so you will not disturb the class by switching views.
A: Tablet Tap on the screen to reveal the toggle button in the upper left corner of the screen. This toggle button will allow you to switch between Gallery View or Speaker Vie
A: Smart Phone: On smart phone Gallery view and speaker view are on separate screens. You will need to slide to the appropriate screen. Due to the small screen size you may not be able to view everyone in the session on one screen.
Tips for improving connection quality and stability during online classes
- Use a hard-wired ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi
- If using Wi-Fi,
- Choose a 5.0 GHz connection rather than 2.4 GHz
- Sit relatively close to the Wi-Fi router
- For UberGeeks: Login to your router and choose the least congested Wi-Fi channel
- Turn off background syncing & backup processes e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud etc on your computer
- Reduce streaming service and other household broadband usage during class, e.g. Netflix, online video games, etc
- Reboot your computer or tablet before class
- Power cycle your router before class
- Turn off your video camera during class
- Test your broadband speed HERE
- Compare to Zoom recommended speeds
- Investigate higher tier options available form your broadband provider that might faster connect speeds
All classes are open to everyone and free of charge.
