Zoom Chat Room

[Eustolia Pennycuff]

This might look like a QR code generated by the zoom meeting room that in-person attendees can scan with their phones to get access to JUST the chat to engage with their virtual peers during a live zoom session

only alternative I have come up with is A. having the students in the class join the zoom session and hope they dont connect to audio. B. take the chat out of zoom and into a shared word doc that becomes very messy and unmanageable .

Hi I've searched past questions/ discussions but not found anything quite the same.
When I use my Zoom pro account, the content in the chat box remains the same/ visible to all when they are in the main rooms and breakout rooms. I can also message people when I'm in the main room and they are in breakout rooms and they can message me.
I am now doing some training with an organization. In the trial run Zoom session we just had, using their account, people in the breakout rooms could message everyone but no-one in the main room or other rooms saw the message. I could be in the main room messaging everyone but no-one in the breakout rooms sees the message. Then when we all came back to the main room, some of the content that had been in the chat had disappeared - specifically file attachments. We would like to keep the content in the chat if possible.
I've looked at meeting room basic and advanced settings and not seen anything that quite fixes this.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Much appreciated

I've never tried sending file attachments in a breakout room, so I am not sure how those work. When you say you can message people in the breakout room from the main room, are you sure you're not using the "Broadcast message to all" feature, and that those in the breakout room aren't using the "Ask for Help" button?

Thank you. I'm currently finding that the chat history is not following people into the breakout rooms. I post 2 questions in the main room chat before sending them off, and then they can't see it in the breakourt room. What am I missing?

Has anyone worked on integrating a GPT chatbot in a videoconference room (like Zoom or Chime?)
I would like the GPT bot to participate in every chat like any other videoconference attendee, so it can interact in real time. In the simplest case, it would listen and take meeting notes and write (and later, possibly translate in near-real time).
Thanks.

You also take for granted multi-turn speaking. ChatGPT (and pretty much all language models) are trained on a single, perfect, 1-1 turn-taking ratio. Multiple speaker participants significantly complicate this task, even for real time. When should it answer? When should it be quiet? How would it know when it should speak?

quick question: do you have any idea or resources on how to integrate a chatgpt into a group CHAT setting, though? I understand that it is impossible to use the real time voice-to-voice (yet) but maybe it is possible in a written context?

Have a question but don't know where to start? Pierce College is here to help you succeed. Get connected with video chat in a Zoom room, connect to online student services or find resources online for using your ctcLink portal.

Summer Hours Notice: Pierce College campuses and virtual services close at noon on Fridays during summer term. Additionally, some departments may be closed all day on Friday. Please verify summer hours with the department you are contacting.

In Zoom Meeting Breakout Rooms, breakout room participants have access to chat and screen share the same as they have in the main room. However, they can unmute and turn on video in breakout rooms, even if those are disabled in the main room.

The last time I met with Spatial, just a few months ago, I was thinking about a further-off future of telecommuting. But now I'm entirely practically minded. I've been on more Zooms than I can possibly count, and while helpful, they have their limits. I feel like a captive talking head. I can't really "see" things easily.

Spatial's approach to virtual meeting rooms is like a VR/Zoom blend. We are, to be clear, cartoonish avatars by necessity, with a photo of my face stretched weirdly over a 3D model. It looks creepy. My face kind of animates when I speak. My hands move when I move the Quest VR controllers. The same goes for Spatial's co-founders, CEO Anand Agarawala and CPO Jinha Lee, and everyone else with me. It's an uncanny meeting, at times.

The weirdness fades away, and I adjust to just meeting and talking. In the room, 3D objects appear that any of us can grab and drag around. I google up some models from Google's 3D object repository, Google Poly, and drag in a dinosaur and dragon. I pull my hands apart to make the dinosaur become huge and drop it into a sample 3D city map we're standing around.

Spatial works with web searches and also Microsoft and Google office environments (Office 365, GSuite and eventually Google Drive and Slack), so documents and spreadsheets and other stuff can be pulled up and shown on big virtual wall screens. Spatial's demo brings up a sample briefing-style room where art sketches are laid out on the walls, and 3D backpack samples float before us for me to pick up, zoom in on, or pick up and discuss.

Participants can join Spatial's rooms through VR or a web app on PCs, phones and tablets, like Zoom. What's really crazy is that anyone who's joining with a webcam can appear in a video window, floating for all of us to see. Someone from Spatial's PR team is doing this. She sees us as little 3D things in a virtual room.

The weird feel of us meeting in a virtual fishtank, with real people able to peek in, makes me think of a possible future where performers work in VR, while directors or creators observe in video panels, able to provide more emotional nuance with their faces. VR isn't able to blend moving around and using real facial expressions yet, which makes VR theater performances feel more like dance and puppetry than real living, talking faces. But this hybrid of VR and video chat feels like something new.

You can watch the montage of my VR meeting in Spatial, or try it yourself. It's available for Oculus Quest, PC-based VR headsets, AR headsets like Microsoft Hololens and Magic Leap, or on nearly any phone, tablet or computer browser via Spatial's web app. Spatial's planning a more full-fledged standalone app that will support more 3D tools on non-VR devices in the future, and its software is set to run on future phone-connected VR/AR headsets, too. For now, Spatial feels like the Zoom-for-VR app I could put to use right now. It's not the only one -- HTC Vive Sync is a new tool for collaboration in virtual spaces, and many more are clearly on the way. In the meantime, Spatial looks like a pretty good map for what's next.

Zoom is Oregon State University's official video conferencing platform, and is the recommended client for use during campus closures. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to use Zoom to create and host high-quality online meetings, classes and events, and leverage Zoom's video, chat, breakout rooms, screen-sharing and whiteboard capabilities.

Information Services has a growing collection of knowledge base articles on common Zoom processes and issues, from how to pull meeting attendance and set up virtual office hours, to troubleshooting audio and disabling disruptive video.

Google Chat makes it simple to interact with your team in an organized fashion, whether in a 1:1 chat or a dedicated group workspace. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files can all be shared and discussed on Google Chat.

The Zoom Team Chat interface is also clean, simple, and easy to navigate. It has a similar layout to other messaging apps with a list of chats and direct messages on the left side of the screen, and the conversation and file sharing on the right.

For Zoom Team Chat, similar to 1:1 chats, group chats engage multiple contacts in the same chat area. A new group chat will be generated whenever a contact is added to a 1:1 chat. You can choose to retain all chat history or start a new chat entirely with the group.

Rooms can also be organized into categories, and room members can be given different permissions such as the ability to manage the room or invite other members. In addition, users can also search for rooms, join them and leave them.

Zoom Team Chat, on the other hand, is part of Zoom. This means that you can start and join meetings directly from the chat platform. You can also schedule and invite other users to the meetings from Zoom Team Chat.

Like Google Chat, Zoom Team Chat has integrations with numerous third-party apps like Jira, ServiceNow Virtual Agent, and Asana ensuring that collaboration and productivity is enhanced without the need to switch between apps.

If your team is invested in the Google ecosystem and uses other Google Suite tools like Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar, Google Chat may be the way to go for a smooth integration with other Google Suite tools.

I've been reading that CRC is a way to go but it seems like the way this works is that I will connect my Room Kit to the zoom cloud and I will loose the Webex functionality. I also read that I could call the Sip address in the invite but I don't see this option in the invites that we receive. I only see the following.

The root of this problem is because Zoom doesn't actually use WebRTC, so implementing direct join to Zoom on Cisco without CRC (i.e. SIP) is not as clear cut as it was for MS Teams. That being said, I feel like it could still be developed by Cisco to work from RoomOS, but until they announce it, workarounds it is.

1. (and what I see the most) You could purchase your own Zoom licenses with CRC and host the meetings yourself for your clients. They shouldn't bawk at this because it's still a Zoom meeting - unless they need to own the recordings.
