Office Hours
Thomas J. Kennedy
As with all network conferencing, there are a few things to double check before coming to office hours:
You need a PC a good internet connection, a microphone, and headphones for office hours.
- Headphones, not speakers! Even if it is just a pair of earbuds you normally use for listening to music.
Zoom has decent background/ambient noise reduction. However, it can only do so much in a crowded room.
