AWUGU: Using Zoom as a Presenter
Our fifth Apple World User Group University online gathering of Apple user
group leaders was held at 8:00pm CST, on August 17, 2020, via Zoom. We had 31
participants who joined for the topic of “Using Zoom as a Presenter” (PDF
images and attendance list available upon request). The 96-minute video can be
viewed at: https://youtu.be/e7ncZMg2WmA <https://youtu.be/e7ncZMg2WmA>
(unlisted YouTube).
This session opened with my welcome, a brief memory about our first April
meeting about virtual meetings, and an introduction to Virtual Macstock in
Woodstock, IL (macstockconferenceandexpo.com/virtual-macstock
<https://macstockconferenceandexpo.com/virtual-macstock/>) and registration for
next year’s event (macstockconferenceandexpo.com
<https://macstockconferenceandexpo.com/>). I also introduced Sandy Foderick and
Rex Covington, who are Bulletin Editor and Photographer respectively of the
Apple User Group Advisory Board.
Next was a detailed and very informative presentation about Zoom presentation
preparation and delivery by Nicholas Pyers of AppleUsers.org (AppleUsers.org
<http://appleusers.org/>), whose slides can be viewed at
nicholaspyers.com/presentations/using-zoom-as-a-presenter/
<https://www.nicholaspyers.com/presentations/using-zoom-as-a-presenter/>. This
was followed by Ann MacKay of Apple Charleston User Group
(charlestownappleusers.com <https://charlestownappleusers.wordpress.com/>)
about their retirement center Zoom experiences (her slides available upon
request).
Carol Fortlage of The Villages Apple User Group (tvaug.org <http://tvaug.org/>)
then spoke of her personal perspectives as a Zoom presenter. Next was a
presentation by Mike Kwasniak of the Suffolk Mac User Group in the United
Kingdom (www.suffolkmug.co.uk <http://www.suffolkmug.co.uk/>) who described his
conversion to Zoom for his most recent two meetings.
The meeting was extended to provide Robert Zimmerman of MacinTech
(macintech.org <https://www.macintech.org/>) an opportunity to illustrate his
international week-long Zoom Society of Allied Weight Engineers Tech Fair
(PowerPoint file available upon request). He was joined by Rick Hyman who
provided a collection of Zoom guidance (Zip file available upon request). Bob
Barton of Mainline Macintosh Users Group had intended to present next, but his
Internet connection failed, so he shared his slides afterward (PDF file
available upon request). A few questions and answers followed.
A brief discussion was held and suggestions made for future meeting topics such
as backups, membership records and renewals, website maintenance, and online
forums. The new AWUGU resource page to share and exchange information is
available (https://appleusergroupresources.com/category/awugu/
<https://appleusergroupresources.com/category/awugu/>) hosted by the Apple User
Group Advisory Board. Interesting information was shared including the follow

Security tips experienced at another’s Zoom meeting from Bob Barton:
Set up a breakout room and use it as your main meeting room
Screen participants when they log in to the main Zoom
If they pass (invited, etc), move them to the breakout room
This allows interaction that the waiting room does not

We are very pleased that this fifth meeting was very interesting, entertaining
and educational. Our next tentative meeting is scheduled for 8:00pm CDT,
September 21, 2020, about “Backups, Forums & Websites”, and on October 19,
2020, a discussion about “User Group Business Practices”. We will attempt to
keep these meetings to about an hour, as originally planned. All AWUGU previous
registrants will receive an invitation to these meetings.
To become a participant, any interested AUG leader must first register with the
AWUGU Coordinator by emailing their name, location, and user group name and web
