The Communication Resource Center offers evening online assistance. The CRC assistants use Zoom (Zoom user guide) to conduct online appointments with you that include video,
audio, and desktop sharing. You’ll be able to show the CRC assistant your document in Google Docs, Google Slides, Word or your presentation in PowerPoint and discuss it just as though
you were sitting next to her in the CRC. Using this software, the CRC assistant can email you a link you will click on to connect to the online meeting. You will need to be sure you have
headphones (or ear buds) and a video camera (preferred, but not necessary) attached to your computer to participate in a Zoom online meeting (please see link for equipment requirements
below).
Note : If you don't have a webcam (with built-in microphone), you will at least need a separate microphone.
