Great Videos on Setting-up for Zoom Meetings by Julie Schiro

With the pandemic, there have been a whole lot more meetings on various teleconferencing software, including Zoom. Providing very helpful tips with regard to Zooming has been Prof. Julie Schiro. On her YouTube channel, she is providing really helpful videos on Zooming, with four videos thus far (I have also embedded these videos at the end of the post): 

While I have found these videos to be greatly insightful, I had been wondering why they appear so utterly infrequently? 

On Thursday, a Zoom discussion ("Online Fireside Chat") was held, featuring Prof. Schiro, entitled "How to WoW on Zoom & Be More Viral" (and recorded then published to YouTube), in which Prof. Schiro provides the background to her helpful videos.

In the online fireside chat, Prof. Schiro speaks on why she so infrequently publishes these incredibly helpful and insightful videos, which is some really fascinating background (props to the National Recruitment Federation for hosting this chat).  
 
One of the nifty tips she dropped in this discussion was about a really neat software called OBS, which allows one to adjust one's video output to Zoom, including adding in videos, pictures, and text. I began using it on Thursday and have found it to be really neat thus far. Prof. Schiro also mentioned in the talk that a forthcoming video on her channel will be on OBS, to which I am greatly looking forward.

I highly recommend these videos, since you may be doing a lot of Zooming these days, as well. Here are the four videos thus far:
