- Starting conversation and sharing tips and tricks
- Shannon might show slides titled "To Video or Not To Video"
- Everyone introduced themselves
- Link to the slides, about how to build a culture and trust with remote workers in teams ( https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yUic-I7r3TmXCoYCluo00kzukAD-6YLaYVyX_FxobyM/edit#slide=id.p )
- Shannon (early on during her remote efforts) was to keep a camera running at home 24/7 (as a way to build trust), but not every worker wants to run video
- Links have all kind of good advice (like profile photos, how to speak clearly, etc.)
- Questions about "Stanford protected data captured in a recording", and how the Zoom chat does not show history as folks arrive to the Meeting Room or departing the room (suggestion is to use Slack rather than Zoom Chat, to capture that history)
- From a remote worker - her opinion is that folks should turn on their local, facial video to make it feel more connected (like hallway conversations after the Zoom is off), try to keep remote folks involved to the end
- Owl Cam is suggested, and conversation about if the Owl is too active, and comparing the SRWC zoom-to-voice in the SRWC rooms (it focuses in and out, and does it cause naseau?, )
- Whiteboard feature built into Zoom - for dev folks, how to intuitively draw, maybe use iPad or tablet to the Zoom session and "share the drawing process", suggestion is a Wacom Bamboo tablet,
- Compare WebEx to BlueJeans to Zoom to Slack-Internal-Video, and how passing control similar to Bomgar (or of Bomgar is not working),
- Asking remote workers to use a headset and microphone (to improve for folks sitting in the On-Campus rooms)
- Etiquette - such as your team re-scheduling a meeting if you say "I'll Zoom in", where bosses think it will deter a meeting
- How a training (such as with an Excel training vendor) might differ from a team-meeting-format
- Icebreakers (and getting quiet folks to interject)
