Best Practice: Speaker
Sign in with your UZH Shortname and Webpass Password: Sign in > Sign in with LDAP.
- Create a meeting room. One per lecture and/or per exercise. Room might persist over the whole semester.
- Publish the URL (on the lecture homepage, per email to the students).
- There is no group permission - anyone who knows the meeting room URL might attend.
- After every login: As speaker, always select microphone. Start a short audio test - you should hear youself as echo.
- Present:
- Yourself with the webcam.
- A PDF / PPT
- Screen Share
