turning off the Video during times of transition with hand held devices.

Being sensitive to sounds and visuals during times of transition with hand held devices from Video to Audio is a difficulty for some of our participants.  Here is a note from one of our group participants:

"in addition to people remembering to mute themselves during class when they aren’t speaking, that they also be aware of how using a hand held device and moving around with it can be very distracting to SEE when we’re all focused on the screen for one reason or another, so perhaps also turning off VIDEO during times of transition. . .would be a very caring act for the rest of us. . . . (I seem to be exceptionally sensitive to extraneous visuals and sounds . . maybe more so than most people)"

 

Being sensitive to sounds and visuals is part of your close awareness of our group process, and much appreciated. 

Perhaps it will be best if I simply turn off the Video for those participants during their times of transition with hand held devices. 

However, then it may be necessary for me to request for them to turn their videos on again?

Notes from William at Zoom on disabling a user's video: " you can lock it forever or allow the user to re-enable."

Notes from William at Zoom on disabling a user's video: " you can lock it forever or allow the user to re-enable."

 

That's exactly how the disable video feature works. We give our host / co-host this ability to stop a video feed from coming into the session if it's distracting for the user. Simply recommend disabling the user's video if it's creating a distraction. When you proceed to disable the video, there's an option in which you can lock it forever or allow the user to re-enable.

You may use both use cases to dictate how the session goes. If the user is just being disruptive, you can disable and not allow to re-enabled.
