Zoom Etiquette 101
Whether you're Zooming for a live-online class, meeting with an instructor during online office hours, or interacting with other College employees & students, remember that a Zoom session is an academic space. Follow these tips to make sure you are set up for a successful Zoom session every time:
- Login to your Zoom session from a distraction-free, quiet environment.
- Be on time for the session.
- Use your real name (the name you are known by in class) when joining the Zoom session.
- Zoom profile pictures and background images (if permitted by the host) should be appropriate for an academic setting.
- Keep your microphone muted until you want to speak. This will help to limit background noise.
- Follow the guidelines provided by your instructor or the Zoom's host regarding use of your video camera - make sure your video camera is turned on [or turned off] during the session as instructed.
- Remember, a Zoom session is an academic space. Think before you Zoom!
