Hello guys, I am new.  Hope you are well and safe.

I teach British Sign language at the University of Cambridge. I am looking into how to improve the Zoom experience for my students. I feel that the lecture needs to be better set up. The BSL teaching is a visual method and I currently use a gallery view because this is the only way students can see me. I tried other settings but with 15 students on my screen, it does not work. Ideally, I would like myself to be seen in the middle of the gallery view and a bit enlarged. We all depend on signing with each other on the main screen and seeing each other well enough. Another option is to set the view to Speaker so your participants could see you in a bigger view but not useful really. Sign language is very much interactive. I tend to design activities on the main screen where everyone can see each other as well as breakout rooms but in breakout rooms, this takes much longer. I am also working on a research project related to an online hybrid version of sign language teaching. We are not talking about the BSL only but other sign languages and there are 600 of them around the world. So, online teaching via Zoom, which I found much better than Teams, can help us to reach out to a global community.

Hope to hear from you

By court order for  probation reasons. Last night I was able to do a make-up(paid extra $140.00)online class with zoom with no problems. This  morning I logged into  zoom and nothing happened?  Here it is 7pm and I still haven't heard anything from the intervention  program Owner & Operator Rodney Pegram I called  several times 281-215-4106 and talked to secretary who transfer  to a voice mail,  I called Rodney  on another phone number that I have been talking to and my calls go to  voice mail is full leave a number to be reached.  And Still haven't received a response . I have been trying to reach the instructor  Jocelyn  at her email address and also haven't heard anything back. My question is... Are  they supposed to send me a invite link for each new class? 

I've followed the instructions for starting a Zoom call from within Slack.

That works but it assumes the meeting has been started but doesn't give the host (me) the opportunity to start the meeting. 

Everyone gets the Join button. 

Only once or twice have I seen a Start Meeting pop-up.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Today, I was taking class and I had to share screen (a video) from my tablet. When I started sharing the video, and pressed play, automatically, I couldn't hear the other participants anymore, which is a a problem because my teacher was talking, but I couldn't hear a thing or take notes.

How can I solve this?, how can I be able to share a video from my tablet, but still hearing other participants?

I hope you can help me. Thanks

Does anyone know how to prevent the body of an invitation from changing when edits are made to the meeting?  More specifically, when I change the time or date of a meeting, the body of my invitation is deleted and replaced with "burnseysides is inviting to a meeting."

Thanks for any assistance!

I have a zoom account I share with a group.  Several times now, I am in the middle of a meeting and I get a popup window that says "another computer signed in to your account and you were signed out."  It ends my meeting.  Is there a setting that can be turned on or off to allow the person who is currently hosting a meeting to stay signed in?
