When you start a Zoom meeting in one of the Nursing classrooms using the attached USB webcam, you will need to make sure the computer is reading it correctly as the video and microphone source.
Automatic Captioning – easier than it used to be
Adding closed captions to your recordings is one of the best things you can do for viewers, and not just those with hearing problems. But, now you can also do so in real time so students don’t have to wait from captions to become available, they can read them while you’re talking.
Lectures Online in the School of Nursing
‘Lectures Online’ is a new system that has been added to 4 of our 1st-floor classrooms* that will automatically record your lectures and add them to your Canvas course.
Beginning with the Fall 2020 semester, rooms equipped with Lectures Online will automatically record any signals that are sent to the projector and the speakers in the room. The recordings will be published in Canvas automatically, shortly after your class. All you need to do is remember to use one of the wireless microphones in the room.
Whatever is projected onto the screen and whatever is spoken into the microphone will be recorded. However, there is no camera pointed at you or your students.

To try and alleviate some of that possible confusion, the screenshots below show you what it should look like when you log in and what options you should select.
“Zoombombing” and What You Can Do About It
A small number of UT faculty have reported unknown, and uninvited “guests” showing up at random in their Zoom meetings. And a small number of universities have also reported what’s now being called “Zoombombing”.
The chances of this happening to you are very low. But, it’s a good idea to know what steps you can take to prevent it in the first place AND what to do in case it DOES happen.
Office Hours in Zoom
Now that Zoom is enabled in all your Canvas courses, you have a couple different options available to you when it comes time to schedule office hours.
But what’s the best option?
Should you schedule your Zoom meetings for office hours in Canvas? Or, should you do so from the Zoom website?
There are pros and cons in either case. So, to help you decide, I’ve created this short (10 min.) video to walk you through the steps involved in both options.

Yesterday, 3/24/2020, the University enabled a new tool called Panopto in every Canvas course.
However, under the circumstances, you probably don’t have hours of free time to spend learning how to use it. So my recommendation to you is that you disable Panopto in all your Canvas courses until further notice.
To do that, follow the simple steps illustrated in this 2-minute video, or the 6 steps listed below:
