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
