Using Youtube Live and Zoom for Preservation Conversations Virtual Events

Youtube Live Instructions   

  1. Go to Youtube.com 
  2. Scroll down until you see the "live" on the left hand side of the screen 
  3. Click "live"   
  4. When the "live" page loads, search for Quapaw Quarter Association in the search box at the top of the page 
  5. The "live" video should show at the top of the search results, click on that video
  6. If you don't see the live video, you can change your search filters to only include live videos.  Above the QQA logo, on the right hand side, you can see a "filter" link. Click "Filter" and under Features, click "Live."  The live video should show up there.    
  7. Remember that the "live" video will not be available until the staff turns on the livestream. This should happen around 5:55, so you can navigate to the live video before it starts at 6:00 pm. If you try to find the "live" video before 5:55, you may get a response to your search that says "no results found."

You Don’t have to Download Zoom on a Laptop or Desktop if you Prefer to Use it in your Browser   

According to the website Tomsguide.com:

“You don't actually need to install anything to use Zoom on a desktop or laptop. All you need is a web browser.

When you get the invitation to join a Zoom meeting, click on the meeting URL. A new tab will open in your preferred browser, and if you have the desktop client app installed, the meeting will bounce over to the app.

However, if you don't have the desktop client software, then the Zoom browser window will ask you to download it. Ignore that suggestion and skip down to the fine print underneath: "If you cannot download or run the application, join from your browser."

Click the highlighted text in "join from your browser" and you'll be presented with a Zoom meeting page. Sign in with your name and join the meeting.”
