Two microphones are installed in each classroom, a lapel, and a handheld microphone. These microphones are used to share your audio in the classroom and over Zoom.
Make sure the microphone is pointing towards your mouth.
Speak loudly and clearly. Speak as if you’re talking with someone in the last row of seats.
Return the microphones to the charging station when not in use.
Do not drop the mic.
Lapel microphones have a bodypack and a clip-on microphone. The bodypack can be clipped onto a belt or placed in a pocket. The clip-on microphone should be placed around the top third of your chest. The microphone clip rotates, so rotate it so the microphone is pointing towards your mouth. The power switch is on the top of the bodypack.
Do not wear a necklace that rubs against the microphone.
Do not wear low-cut shirts. The microphone may not be close enough for clear audio.
Make sure the microphone is pointing towards your mouth.
Speak loudly and clearly. Speak as if you’re talking with someone in the last row of seats.
Return the microphone to the charging station when not in use.
Handheld microphones have the microphone at one end and the transmitter at the other end. The power switch is on the side of the microphone. Hold the microphone by the body and point the microphone end towards your mouth.
Please return the microphones to the charging station when you’re done with class. This assures that the microphones are fully charged and do not go missing.

Students and Professors alike may wish to avoid showing their actual surroundings during a Zoom call.
Zoom has a feature that enables a user to blur their background (as opposed to changing it).
If, for some reason, you do not see this option in your Zoom settings, you may need to update your version of Zoom.
One way to download Zoom is by navigating to this link: https://zoom.us/support/download
Alternatively, you may check for updates by following these steps:
2. Enter the zoom.pepperdine.edu domain.
3. Enter your Campus Wide Network
4. You will be prompted to open Zoom.Us
5. From there, you will be logged in to your desktop Zoom app. Click on your profile picture.
6. Click on “Check for updates”
7. You will be notified if there are any updates you should install. If you are up to date, you will receive a screen confirming you are up to date.
1. Once in your meeting, click on the arrow next to your video icon in the bottom left corner. Then, click “choose virtual background.”
2. In your Zoom application, you should now see a “blur” option in your background and filters tab. Select this option.
3. Back in your meeting, your background should now appear blurred!
It is becoming increasingly popular to store passwords automatically, as modern browsers come equipped with password managers that store login credentials. The centralization of passwords becomes dangerous when one part of your browser system is exposed to someone else however, which can happen through hackers decoding weak passwords (such as 123456), or password sharing to friends and family, which has become increasingly popular in a work from home environment. Due to the passwords being stored on one platform, if someone has access to one password or even access to your browser, they have access to most all passwords stored there.
There are several examples of how this centralization of passwords can create a major security breach: credential dumping happens when a hacker attempts to gain access to your system through persistent phishing or hacking, and there is malware created specifically to steal autofill data (like stored passwords). To read more about these tactics, see this article from the tech help oriented website toolbox.com.
To reduce the risk of exposing your information to the web at large, consider taking these steps.

By turning off the presenter view before you begin a presentation over Zoom, your students will not be able to see any personal notes you have created for yourself in the presentation. While presenter view is viable for a classroom setting (where your personal computer screen can be separate from wha a projector is showing), for sharing your own screen over Zoom, sharing the slides without personal notes is best.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Information Services at [email protected] or (310) 506-7425.
