Cue Aretha! Hah hah. Right now I'm in a Zoom class as a student. i also use Zoom as an instructor. For the past year and up till now it is still the method used here for a lot of adult education courses. Last year I really began to hate it as a substitute for in-class learning. This year, instructors here have taken to turning off video and audio. Students can hear the instructor but only use text to ask questions or use reactions to respond. It's actually better I think, for adults anyway, not so much for kids... At first I was all over the video backgrounds - "hey look at me I'm riding a rollercoaster or flying in an F-35 " ::) Soon turned all that off and went back to a dull wall. Anyone have any thoughts on their Zoom experience, good, bad, indifferent? I know it's been used here on BYOAC for a few meet-ups. I'm looking forward to NOT using it and getting back to In-person interactions. |

I've been so grateful that I haven't had to take part in the online thing at all- for work that is of course. Hard to rope buildings and install fixtures remotely! Although I do admit to diagnosing a few problems through pictures sent to me via text. :) |

I'm always tense when I'm on conferences. The delays mess with the natural rhythm of conversation. When video is enabled, I find myself recalling the theatre rule that at any given moment, someone in the audience is focusing directly on you. That's exhausting when you're on a call for several hours. On the other hand, it's still a little funny when someone joins a work conference with their 'casual' settings. Zoom/Teams/Webex are all here to stay for work, but I will be thrilled when we don't have to use electronic conferencing as a replacement for in-person entertainment. |

I am on conference calls A LOT. Everyone knows my camera is "broken" - I have yet to join a zoom call with the camera on and I don't ever intend on doing it. There's no need for anyone to see my stupid face. |
