A how to guide based on the way in which we use Adobe Connect at the Technology Strategy Board to create webinars that we run in parallel to our live events.
Tips for online services & spiritual sharing sessionsPaul Richards
It’s time for episode three of our new interactive live show helping churches communicate in the era of COVID. Today we are discussing tips for hosting online services & Spiritual Sharing Sessions using Zoom video conferencing. Following up on our last two productive meetings (which are available to watch on-demand) today we will review how to use break out sessions to make your online services more intimate.
In our past episodes, we have discussed the need to go beyond live streaming and explained why two way communications are so necessary for keeping congregations together during a time when communities are 100% distributed. We have also discussed a return for in-person church attendance and what that will mean when many of the congregation will have to stay at home.
We are going to recap all of this information, and provide ample time for Q&A. But most importantly, we will be hosting a live Zoom session where you can join intimate break out sessions with other worship leaders in groups of 4. This will be a process we call Virtual World Cafe, and it’s something you need to learn about as we push forward into this brave new world of online communications.
In this era of COVID, we’ve been spending a lot of time discussing how to stream meetings/services to remote participants. When social distancing restrictions are lifted we’re likely to have both local (in-room) participants as well as remote participants. If all we’re doing is broadcasting (1-way), this is no problem. But what if you want interactivity? How do you include remote participants in an interactive large class, workshop or church service?
Let's go Virtual- Guide to Using Zoom for Rotary ClubsOperation Warm
During the COVID-19 Pandemic and resulting stay-at-home orders, Rotary clubs are moving to virtual meetings. District 6440 is providing financial support and training to clubs in the use of Zoom. This presentation provides the basics for setting up Zoom accounts and accessing meetings.

Learn about the fundamentals for planning a video conference room as well as what equipment will turn your room into a high quality, fully functioning, video conference center.
You'll learn:
-Key points on designing a video conference room
-How to install and set up your video conferencing equipment
-How easy it is to join a conference using Logitech SmartDock

You might also ask what is Zoom? Zoom.US is a web video conferencing software with a breakthrough pricing and feature model that literally millions of users are flocking toward. For more information on Zoom.US check out our blog post category here. For this blog post we are going to focus on "Zoom Presence" and the following breakthrough features:
Making Video Conferencing Easier
Giving Advanced Features with Simple Controls
Catering to the DIY "Do it Yourselfer"
CRS_Man_Tropical_SceneMaking Video Conferencing Easier
So "making video conferencing easier" and "Giving Advanced Features with Simple Controls" might sound like the same thing but let's break down how Zoom Presence does both. Zoom Presence simplify the overall equipment design and installation by standardizing on a Mac Mini only approach. What if you are a Windows user? No problem. You can still use Zoom.US with any Windows computer, smart phone or OS but you cannot install Zoom Presence on a Windows host PC. By limiting the configuration down to a Mac Mini which is "built like a porsche" and simple USB based video cameras and microphones you computer has a solid Mac OS that can handle your video conferencing calls without any "hiccups".
Advanced Features with Simple Controls
ipad_zoom_USSo let's dig into the core of what makes Zoom Presence amazing. Two words Simple Controls. The controls are so simple that will no doubtly change the entire industry. Let's take a quick look at the industry as a whole for second. Huge companies like Cisco and Polycom have the most advanced and most expensive equipment. Because they are so "advanced" they are also more "complicated" and users are simply pushing the traditional hardware to the sides of rooms and using there laptops to launch a GoToMeeting. Anyway...
With Zoom Presence users can not only launch a video call, white board session, screen share or 100 participant webinar with up to 1,000 viewers. With all that power, you have a simple menu that scales to fit your needs in a sleek app style application. And your Mac Mini running the show? It's got more than enough horsepower with a i7 process, Solid State Hardrive, and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB ports.
