- Schedule Meeting
- Allow Participants to Join Before Host: Enable to allow students to enter meetings before you join. This allows students to enter classes early and have informal chats. You may also set a limit to the time before which students can join.
-
- Mute participants upon entry: in this optional setting participants are muted once they sign in and you will not need to ask them to turn off their microphones once class starts. Students can still turn on their microphones when they need to speak.
- In Meeting (Advanced)
- Breakout Room: this allows you to assign breakout rooms before or during a meeting.
- Virtual Background: this allows you to use a virtual background while using Zoom.
- Other
- Schedule Privilege: This allows you to designate another member of the Suffolk community, such as your TA or faculty assistant, permission to schedule Zoom meetings for you.
- Recording
- Automatic Recording: this setting begins recording when the room is opened. We do not recommend enabling this setting. If a student enters the room before class begins and then leaves, a separate recording will be created. To avoid this, disable the setting or do not allow students to join before the host (you).
