Apologies: Paul Griffith.
This was an inaugural virtual exchange club meeting using the Zoom app. This
online meeting was required since the premises in Ely Place was closed
because of the Corona viru.
Overall the reception using Zoom was excellent; those present were using a
mixture of the IOS and Android operating systems as well as Windows 10
platforms.
Nobody joined using a landline. Cearbhall did advise though that if you were
using a landline that you should be aware that a fairly expensive toll is
charged per minute after 59 minutes on a call. So after this time has
elapsed, just hang up and re-dial.
It was strongly advised to be aware that if you have a phone plan where you
are paying for data usage, you should ensure that you were joining a meeting
using wifi rather than using your data.
At the start we discussed issues pertaining to Zoom - mainly regarding the
audio muting on the Android platform; if you self mute and then you unmute
and should you remain silent for a certain period of time the Android system
will automatically mute you. Those using the Windows and IOS platforms
didn't experience this.
Bert mentioned that his Surface Pro2 loses focus. Stuart suggested trying to
turn off the touch screen feature.
Eamonn asked about Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.
Declan advised that these automatically update and there isn't any need to
carry out a virus scan or to manually update these. Once you have the most
up-to-date web viewer you should have no worries about viral attack.
Bert advised that when using Windows 10 you should ensure that when using
Windows Explorer you should be pointing your explorer to This PC rather than
to the Quick Access option. To ensure that you are pointing at This PC go to
the start menue edit box with Windows S and enter "folders". Press enter and
you should hear File Explorer General; down arrow to This PC and press enter
and that will in future allow you to check files and documents on your PC
when pressing the file explorer keys Windows E.
Eamonn asked if anyone knew could icons be labelled using JAWS in the
Software Defined Radio application. Declan felt that this might be difficult
to achieve.
Joe Murphy asked how to use Apple Pay. Stuart explained that you should
point your iphone at the screen beside the card reader at the till; press
the power button twice which authorises Apple Pay to make the payment using
your facial identity. Your receipt will appear in the Wallet icon.
Bert mentioned that with the latest version of IOS you can create your own
gestures for things like the rotor and the virtual home button.
All in all today was a great success and this is one up for the fight
against the virus and its attempt to keeping us isolated.
Thanks to Stuart, Declan and Cearbhall for the work they have done on
setting up Zoom for our use. Since the meeting is set up as a recurring
event, the link you used this morning should allow you to join the meeting
next week also. If anyone has any problem with Zoom just contact this
mailing list and the lads will sort you out.
Regards,
Michael
