快活林性息

The Webinar format in Zoom is intended for meetings where a Host and Panelists address a group of Attendees. For more information about Webinars in Zoom, visit the听. The Webinar feature is an add-on that needs to be activated by 快活林性息 IT. Webinar licenses were rescinded from Zoom accounts as of May 31, 2020.

For more information about activating or reactivating Webinars in your Zoom account, please send an email to听ftc@csun.edu.

Scheduling a Webinar

Once you have the Webinar add-on activated in your account by 快活林性息 IT, you can schedule a Webinar by navigating to csun.zoom.us, selecting听Sign In听at the top right corner of the screen, and logging in using your 快活林性息 user name and password. Navigate to听Webinars听in the menu on the left side of the screen and select听Schedule a Webinar.

Topic

In the听Topic听field, enter a title for your webinar. You may also add a description in the听Description听field, though this is optional.

When and Duration

In the听When听section, choose a date and a start time. In the听Duration听drop-down menus, choose how long your webinar will last.

NOTE: The听When听and听Duration听options are primarily for scheduling. You can start your webinar any time and the webinar will not end after the length of time chosen in the听Duration听field.

Registration

By checking the听Registration听box, attendees will be prompted to provide a name and email address before they can join the webinar. This extra step provides an additional layer of security against anonymous attendees joining and disrupting the webinar.

Webinar Password

When you check the听Webinar Password听box, Zoom generates a numeric password required to join the webinar. Zoom also adds the numeric password to the webinar link, which automatically enters the password when attendees select the link. This extra step also provides an additional layer of security by preventing unauthorized attendees from joining the webinar using random Meeting IDs.

Video

Setting听Video听to听On听for both the Host and the Panelists means their webcams will be automatically activated when they enter the webinar.

NOTE:听The video setting does not affect the video settings for attendees.

Audio

Set听Audio听to听Both听so that attendees can join using their Computer Audio or by dialing in using a Zoom-generated phone number.

Q&A

Checking the box enables the Q&A function which allows Attendees to submit questions to the Host, Co-Host and Panelists. For more information on customizing the Q&A, visit the Q&A Tab section further down the page.

For more information on the Q&A feature in Zoom, visit the support article听.听

Only Authenticated Users Can Join

The听Only authenticated users can join听feature requires all participants (Host, Co-Host, Panelists and Attendees) to create or log into a Zoom account before they can join the webinar. We don鈥檛 recommend using this feature because it complicates the process of attendees joining the webinar.

Record the Webinar automatically on the local computer

Checking the box lets Zoom record the webinar as a video file to your computer鈥檚 hard drive.

NOTE:听Zoom recordings can range from 200MB to 300MB per hour per recording. Make sure that there is enough space on your computer鈥檚 hard drive for the resulting file.

Alternative Hosts

Enter the email addresses of any Alternative Hosts you would like to add to your webinar. If the Host has already started the meeting, Alternative Hosts will join as Co-Hosts.

Select the听Save听button to save your settings.

Q&A Tab

Once the webinar has been scheduled, scroll down to the bottom of the Webinar page and select the Q&A tab.

• Select听Edit听at the right of the screen
• Uncheck the听Allow anonymous questions听box, and select听Save

This will prevent attendees from anonymously asking disruptive or offensive questions during the webinar.

Chat

Navigate to听Settings听in the menu on the left of the screen, then scroll down to the听In Meeting (Basic)听settings and turn off the听Chat听and听Private Chat听feature. Turning off听Chat听protects the webinar from disruptive or offensive content being shared to the other attendees in the听Chat听window.
