Zoom Workshop

COVID-19 has drastically impacted our current work environment. Employees have switched to virtual platforms to facilitate meetings and communicate from their homes.

Many of us are still learning new platforms. ASCE will host an "Ask Me Anything" style workshop from Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19. The team of experts will be sharing their expertise on using Zoom in this discussion thread. Please “Ask Them Anything” in this thread and they will answer your questions on how to use Zoom effectively.

This thread will be open through Friday, June 19. Experts will share their feedback on the thread until Sunday, June 21. Please contact me if you have any questions about participating in the workshop.

ZOOM TIP: By now, most people know how to use a virtual background which is super useful if you’re working from home and sharing space with your spouse like I am (if you’re unsure, check out this useful page). Did you know you can “touch up” your appearance in Zoom too? In Settings>Video, check “Touch up my appearance”.  This feature will soften the focus of your camera, theoretically minimizing any issues with your skin!
