If you prefer to continue holding your class synchronously at its scheduled time, but in a remote format, you may do so using Zoom. All UCF faculty, GTAs, staff, and students with an active NID have access to Zoom. Faculty can use the Zoom tool in their Webcourses@UCF courses. Zoom can be used on your desktop (Mac and Windows) and mobile devices (Android and iOS). Updates to Zoom Default Settings for Accessibility Effective May 10, 2021, UCF IT has adjusted two default settings in the UCF Zoom account: Audio Transcript has been turned on for all cloud recorded meetings and live-transcription has been enabled as an option during Meetings. Live and automatically generated transcripts are not an ideal substitute to human-generated captions but do provide a level of access. Visit the Accessibility in Zoom guides at the bottom of this page for additional information. A Note When Hosting Synchronous Zoom Meetings Please keep in mind with the increase in remote instruction and telecommuting, connectivity for live meetings may prove to be difficult for some students. With Zoom, you can always record and publish a Zoom meeting for asynchronous viewing to your course in Webcourses@UCF.

Add Closed Captioning – Closed captioning is a manual process in Zoom. This means that someone (either a host, co-host, panelist, or a third-party vendor) will need to type the closed captions during the meeting or webinar. Use Hot Keys and Keyboard Shortcuts for Zoom – There are keyboard shortcuts that you can use on the Zoom Desktop Client for Windows and Mac that allow you to navigate the Zoom settings without using your mouse. Enable Live Transcript in Zoom – Provide automatic captions during Zoom meetings.
