Another Sunday rolled around so on May 24 at the usual time of noon UTC, members of the Webheads in Action community of practice gathered for the latest Webheads Revival Weekly Sunday Meeting, number 9
I (Vance) had recently learned how to stream Zoom into YouTube, although ‘learned’ is not quite the right word, more like watching a video walk-through, about 2 minutes, and then you think you know how to do it, and then you do it, and then it works (I think the correct expression would be, ‘I was trained’ how to do it). There was one trick to streaming to YouTube so you don’t grant Zoom the right to control your channels and delete all your videos, but I’ll address that in a later webinar, maybe next week.
As usual we talked about whatever those present wanted to talk about. I don’t try to contol this, and Doris took over talking about the very interesting online teaching she is doing from Jujuy, Argentina, involving students as far away as Germany, and now she wants to hook up with students from China to balance her mix. Sandip chimed in and said he would be interested in contibuting to the Pucara de Tilcara Episode from Maharashtra (see the chatlogs for the link). So the conversation went iike that, very relaxed, these Sunday meetings.
I had been preparing to talk about Zoom security and streaming. With Heike’s help we’ve been tightening up Zoom security and I had just recently figured out how to stream from Zoom into YouTube for her Virtual Campus tour in OpenSim,

Today I tried it out on FB just to see how it works. It worked fine and it produced a video with the following link (this one, posted to a group, has no embed code): https://www.facebook.com/groups/webheadsinaction/permalink/10158153029478536/
Meanwhile, Heike and Vance have produced two documents that I may try to introduce next week:
- Heike Philp has prepared a comprehensive document entitled
Zoom bombing – how to be prepared and how to prevent it
Anyone with this link can view it
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v2M2aKdEX07JvAL3BWEqrmiXyEzy87l4FApTLSZUQ9s/edit?usp=sharing - I have created a document called A detailed look at your Personal Zoom Meeting Settings, where I copy/pasted images of my Personal Zoom Meeting Settings and annotated them to show why certain settings were invoked. The document can be commented on by anyone with its link, and I would welcomes suggestions and comments on my choices, since that’s how we learn:

Here was a test run I did on Facebook prior to the event (this one, posted to my timeline, has an embed code, but WordPress does not accept it):

There seems to be the solution to embedding Facebook videos to an HTML document. However, in WordPress, whereas I have full access to the HTML code for each page, I have no access to thetag.
To use the Embedded Video Player Plugin, or any other Social Plugin, you need to add the Facebook JavaScript SDK to your website. You need to load the SDK only once on a page, ideally right after the opening tag \

Zoom Chat Logs

20:17:38 From Heike Philp, Germany : yes pls
20:21:01 From sandip jadhav : This is sandip from India. Doris’s project sounds interesting. I am available from India if you could think about Indian archeological sites
20:21:29 From Vance Stevens – Penang : hi Sandeep, you can speak to us if you like
20:21:49 From sandip jadhav : sure
20:25:12 From Chris Fry Barcelona : I wanted to show how incredible the closed captions are in Google Meet, which I saw in action a couple of weeks ago on a webinar by Derek White. so I tried to start a meeting on my phone, but of course it refused to start until I logged out of Zoom. Once it started up it produced pretty good captions of what Doris was saying!
20:26:44 From Vance Stevens – Penang : interesting, I don’t know if they are following the text chat, but when I can get a word in …
20:29:21 From Heike Philp, Germany to Vance Stevens – Penang(Privately) : hi Vance, pls promote me to co-host
20:30:07 From Heike Philp, Germany to Vance Stevens – Penang(Privately) : thanks there was some noise

20:38:18 From Chris Fry Barcelona : Heineken, the cc on a phone are small, but on a computer they are very visible.

More about TALIN
TALIN stands for Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, https://tinyurl.com/talin2020
The idea for TALIN was prompted by suggestions in numerous cross-fertilizing communities of practice that there was needed a space where members of these CoPs could meet online and talk informally to one another about how they are dealing with changes in their personal and professional contexts and what they are doing to help others in this trying time of pandemic.
Learning2gether can host TALIN events in Zoom during times of isolation/lockdown if they are intended to be recorded and shared with the wider community, and if they take place between 02:00-14:00 UTC
TALIN events here are open to all and free to attend.
If you would like to propose an event or invite others to meet in conversation
- Visit this page https://tinyurl.com/talin2020
- Click on “Request Edit Access” to the left of your profile picture at the top of the page
- Wait for approval
- Write in your event on the schedule. Give the time in UTC if you can, and give the time in your location also as a double check on time
You can host the event yourself, but if you want Learning2gether to host it and promote it, please allow enough time to check that I am available, at least a few days in advance.
