Zoom Reference

The LSE has a Zoom licence for all School staff and students. We have a quick guide on how to install and start Zoom for the first time if you are LSE staff or an LSE student.

Non LSE members can sign up for a free Zoom account and download the client from the Zoom website.

Before you start we also recommend you read the LSE Eden Centre wiki guide on Zoom which provides best practice guidance on using zoom for teaching and seminars.

We advise that for any Zoom meeting you organise, you set a password.

Sample Seminar Etiquette to send out to users

Below is an example of what to instruct/send out to attendees, to help the seminar run smoothly.

• Seminar opens for participants at [DATE/TIME]
• Please mute your microphone, and disable your video for better connectivity. Only unmute your microphone/video to ask a question and mute it back after the exchange is completed.
• Wear headsets wherever possible to avoid feedback and interference.
• The format will be [90] minutes of presentation, with questions as we go, as in a normal seminar.
• To ask a question you can either use the "raise hand" icon / directly unmuting and asking / use the Chat function.
• In case you have access issues, please contact the [SEMINAR ORGANISER (XXXXXX@lse.ac.uk)].
