APPLIES TO

          Elementary students trying to connect to a Zoom meeting using their school issued Chromebook via Google Classroom

EXPERIENCE SUGGESTIONS

The below suggestions can improve the Zoom experience when using a Chromebook:

· Minimize use of Grid or Tile view- These views are extremely processor intensive. 

· Encourage students to close other tabs or applications while on video

· Have students turn off their camera in the application when not actively participating (we see a marked improvement when the student camera is off)

· Attempt to minimize streaming videos inside video conference applications. When possible, share the video link with students and have them return to the session when the viewing is completed.

· Ask students to minimize the installation of extensions 

· Ensure devices are plugged into power when using video conferencing wherever possible
