Project Details

This resource is designed to help students in Professor Mettille's courses. In this course, you will be working collaboratively in a virtual meeting room using Zoom. Zoom is a full-featured web conferencing tool that can be used on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. It supports video and audio over the Internet, document and screen sharing, and more. All WSU students can create and host their own Zoom rooms. If you are new to Zoom, here are the directions ( Sign in to Zoom) to get up and running in Zoom. The following directions provide instructions for scheduling a Zoom Meeting, recording your Zoom Meeting, and Sharing that recording via Kaltura Mediaspace, and post the recording to an Assignment Submission Folder in D2L BrightSpace. Note: If you have used Zoom in the past or have used the encrypted version of Zoom it may be necessary to uninstall these older versions as we require you to be on a current version of Zoom.

Schedule a meeting

Sign in to the Zoom web portal at https://minnstate.zoom.us and follow the steps below:

  1. Select Sign In, you will be prompted to use your StarID and password
  2. Select Meetings from the tabs on the left.
  3. Select the Schedule a Meeting button (Fig 1).
  4. Enter a topic (i.e., meeting name) and description (optional)
  5. Enter timing information
  6. Set your meeting options.
  7. Select Save to finish.

Timing

Single meeting

The New Meeting screen defaults to a single meeting, starting at a specific date and time, and lasting for a set duration.

Recurring meeting

Select the Recurring checkbox if you wish to schedule multiple meetings at specific times, lasting for a set duration, but that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.

Persistent meeting

Select the Recurring checkbox and select No Fixed Time from the Recurrence menu to create a meeting that never ends and can be used repeatedly, similar to your Personal Meeting. This is a popular choice for instructors who want to create a persistent room for a course that they can use for multiple purposes (e.g., class meetings, office hours).

Recording your video

Zoom supports recording meetings to either your local computer and to the cloud. Meetings that are recorded to your local computer are stored as an MP4 and are available for your use and/or editing. When you record to the cloud, the video is automatically stored in your MediaSpace account.

Recording your Zoom meetings is easy. To begin a recording...

  1. Click on the Record button in the toolbar on the bottom of the Zoom window.
  2. Select where the recording will be stored.
    1. Selecting Record to the Cloud will store the recording in your MediaSpace account. This should be the default way you store videos. Not only does it save you the step of moving the video up manually, but it also keeps the videos from gobbling up precious hard drive space.
    2. Selecting Record on this Computer will store the video on your computer. These recordings are converted to MP4 files after the meeting closes and are stored in the Documents/Zoom folder. Use this option if you need to do any major editing to the video before you post it.
  3. Record changes to Pause/Stop Recording and serves as the controls for stopping the recording.
