01 Dec 20 - 12:09 AM (#4081484) Subject: Tech: a tip about Zoom From: leeneia I just learned something helpful about Zoom. If you have been using it, you know that pressing and holding the spacebar is supposed to let you speak. But sometimes it doesn't. What I learned is that you have just done something special, such as changing the view or the volume, then the trick of pressing the space bar may not work. In my case, I then click on the Unmute button, which is unreliable and may not respond. By that time, people are shouting advice at me. Everybody please remember that methods of unmuting may or may not be reliable, and give people a chance. You can assume that somebody whose face has become familiar knows what to do. |

In my experience some don't work, or only work when a particular window has focus - e.g. the meeting, not the participant list. |

(I use Windows 10, and I get boxes telling me to use the spacebar to unmute.) I have sensitive hearing, and I have to adjust my computer's volume a lot. That's one operation that affects the spacebar. By the way, if you are speaking DO NOT SHOUT INTO A MICROPHONE. I have been hurt so many times by people doing that. You'd be surprised how loud people get when exclaiming "Great!" or giving a groan of embarrassment. There's one catter who hurt me so bad that I am never going to listen to him again. When it's his turn, I turn my volume down to 0. |
