Tech Tip of the Week: Broadcasting a Message to Waiting Room in Zoom
If you have decided to enable waiting rooms in your Zoom meetings, we want to share with you a quick Tech Tip this week!
You are able to send a message to everyone in the waiting room.
You can do this by opening the chat and going to select a recipient the same way you would to send a private message, but while the waiting room is enabled and there are participants waiting you should see the option to select everyone (in waiting room) as the recipient. Sending a message will then broadcast that message to everyone currently in the waiting room.
You can find screenshots and more information in Zoom’s documentation on waiting rooms.
Tech Tip of the Week: Zoom Live Transcriptions
It is now possible to activate a live, computer-generated transcript in your Zoom meetings. There will be a Live Transcript button in your Zoom meeting controls for any meeting that you are hosting where you will be able to start the auto-transcription.
This will create computer-generated subtitles during the meeting as well as a transcript that you will be able to download after the meeting.
Further details about this feature are available via UofI Tech Services here: Zoom Live Transcription explanation.
Important!
You should not assume that this will meet the requirements for a captioning accommodation. Contact DRES in case of a letter of accommodation to assure you are meeting requirements.
