CONFERZOOM CAN BE USED 2 DIFFERENT WAYS

1. From the ConferZoom site
2. Integrated into Canvas

• The two methods are similar performance-wise
• With both methods students do not need an account
• If you plan to use Canvas, using the integrated method may be easier
• The important thing is to pick one method and stay with it, changing methods can lead to frustration.
• Distance Education has workshops for both methods

Captioning in Zoom

Enable Audio Transcription

Audio Transcription can act as a temporary accessibility solution while videos are being captioned otherwise. It is always a good idea to turn it on.

1. Sign into ConferZoom web portal, and click Meeting Settings from the side navigation. Then click on the Recording tab.

2. From the Recording tab, navigate to the Cloud recording option and verify that the setting is enabled.

   If the setting is disabled, click the Status toggle to enable it. If a verification dialog displays, choose Turn On to verify the change.

3. Click the Audio Transcript checkbox to enable it, then click Save to confirm the change.

Live Captioning

Live caption service is reserved for live online classes with student participation. You will need to provide a schedule of lecture dates and times.

To request live captioning, contact the Distance Education Instructional Accessibility Specialist or the Disability Resources Department if you have a disabled student in your course.

Other Captioning

Contact the Instructional Accessibility Specialist to request captions.
