Recording a Demonstration Using Zoom Meeting

Overview

Computer demonstrations for UGAtube can be recorded easily using the Zoom Meeting platform. A few things to remember when recording:

Breathe and speak normally. Imagine you are having a conversation with a co-worker.
It's OK to make mistakes. Indicate what needs to be edited out and redo the process.
Avoid background noise. Find a time and location where you are not likely to be interrupted by outside noises or other distractions.
Record to the Cloud and select the Audio transcript option. Using the "Record to the Cloud" feature will make submitting the video much easier. Remember to share the password as well.
