More information and online support

Before the Zoom meeting starts
Important to note is that you as an organizer initially should mute all participants to avoid background noise. Preferably you do this before the meeting starts by chosing ”Edit meeting” and then ”Advanced options”.

It is also important as an organizer to send out information about how the participants test the link, sound etc. before the webinar starts to avoid 15 minutes of pure support matters. Don't forget to test your own sound and video settings before an important meeting. Try setting up a meeting with a friend our colleague and try everything out beforehand.

Capacity
As an employee of the University, you can hold meetings with up to 300 participants. Since most Nordic universities use Zoom right now, important meetings should be held outside of the peak hours (10:00–15:00).
Check the capacity here on a daily basis.

Meetings in Zoom for larger groups
For Zoom meetings with larger student groups (more than 300 students) you can get help and advice from LU Canvas.   

For planning larger meetings as for conferences, please get in contact with the communication office at LUSEM for advice: info@ehl.lu.se
