| How to Schedule a Meeting in Zoom Posted: 10 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST This wikiHow teaches you how to create a Zoom meeting that occurs at a specific date and time. No matter where you access Zoom, you can quickly schedule a meeting by clicking the Schedule icon and filling out a simple form. [Edit]Using the Zoom App on a Computer - Open the Zoom application on your PC or Mac. It'll be in the Windows menu on a PC, and in the Applications folder on a Mac. If you're not already signed in, you'll be prompted to do so now.
- Click the blue icon. It's the calendar icon near the bottom-left corner of Zoom.
- Enter a topic for your meeting. In the Topic field, type a descriptive name for the event such as Staff Meeting or Live Performance.
- Enter the meeting's time, date, and duration. Select a start time and date for the meeting, and then choose a duration from the drop-down menu to automatically create an end time. If the meeting is happening more than once, check the box next to "Recurring meeting" and choose additional timing preferences.
- Fill out the "Security" section. In this section, you can adjust your password preferences and control whether to use a Waiting Room for participants:
- Passwords are enabled and created by default. You can change the password to something else if you'd like, or disable it altogether by removing the checkmark from the "Passcode" box. If you have a free Zoom account, you must use a password.[1]
- If you'd like participants to wait in a virtual waiting room before you allow them to join the meeting, leave the "Waiting Room" option selected (recommended). If you'd rather people with the password be able to join without your intervention, remove the checkmark.
- Select a Meeting ID option. If you want to use your personal meeting ID to set up this meeting, select Personal Meeting ID under "Meeting ID." This would allow you to apply any changes you make here to all meetings that use this ID. If this is a one-off type of meeting, select Generate Automatically to create a unique ID.
- Choose who can broadcast video immediately. In the "Video" section, you can choose whether the host and/or participants should be sharing video as soon as the meeting begins. Both are set to "off" by default, which means nobody's camera will be enabled at first—anyone can enable their cameras later if they wish.
- Select your audio and call-in preferences. If your account allows people to phone in to meetings, you can allow calls from telephones, computer audio, and/or 3rd party devices. You can also select which regional call-in numbers to include in the meeting.
- Select a calendar option. If you want to add the meeting to your calendar immediately and quickly send an invitation, choose Google Calendar, Outlook, or Other Calendars as needed. After you create the meeting, you'll be taken to a new pre-filled calendar event that you can edit and use for invitations.
- Click to expand more options for participants. This includes the option to allow participants to join before the host, as well as the option to mute participants immediately upon entry. Depending on your account type, you may also find some or all of the following options here:
- To restrict access, select the option to allow only authenticated users to join.
- If you have scheduling privileges for someone else in your organization, you can select that person from the drop-down menu. The Alternative Hosts option also lets you add the email address for another licensed Zoom user who should also have full host access.
- If language interpretation is available, you can configure your settings here.
- To add an additional host from your organization, enter the email address of the other host in the "Alternative Hosts" section.
- To allow participants to join before the host, enable "Join before host." With this setting, you can also start the meeting with all participants muted until the host arrives by selecting Mute participants on entry.
- Click to create the meeting. Now that the meeting is scheduled, the selected calendar service will open, allowing you to add the meeting to your calendar, add guests, and set up recurring meeting times (if applicable).
- If you want to view or edit the meeting, click the Meetings tab at the top, and then select the meeting.
- To send invitations without using your calendar, click Copy invitation, and then paste the copied content into an email, message, or post.
[Edit]Using the Zoom Web Portal - Go to https://zoom.us/meeting in a web browser. If you're signed in to Zoom, this displays the Meetings page. If you're not signed in, follow the on-screen instructions to do so now.
- Click the button. It's the blue button near the top-right corner of your meetings list.
- The options you see on the form vary by account type and organizational/group settings.
- Enter a topic and description for your meeting. In the Topic field, type a descriptive name for the event such as All Staff Meeting or Poetry Reading. You can also type a description of the event into the "Description" field—it's not optional, but it can be helpful.[2]
- Enter the meeting's time and date.
- Type the date into the field or click the calendar icon to use the visual calendar.

- If you have a free Zoom account, you are required to have a password for your meeting.
- To manage your password preferences, click the Settings tab in the left panel and adjust your preferences under the "Security" header.
- Select a waiting room preference. If you'd like participants to wait in a virtual waiting room before you allow them to join the meeting, leave the "Waiting Room" option selected (recommended).

| How to Make Rolled Oats Posted: 09 Nov 2020 04:00 PM PST Use rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, to make a fast, delicious bowl of oatmeal. If you're craving something nice and hot for breakfast, or maybe to warm you up on a chilly, rainy afternoon, you can whip up this timeless classic bowl of porridge in no time. Once you prepare the oats, your bowl of oatmeal is a perfect base for you to top with whatever sweet and nutritious additions you like. Keep it simple or get creative to wow your tastebuds—or your breakfast guests! [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Stovetop Rolled Oats - 1/2 cup (45 g) of rolled oats or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (250 mL) of water or milk
- 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) or a pinch of salt (optional)
Makes 1 serving of oatmeal [Edit]Microwave Rolled Oats - 1/2 cup (45 g) of rolled oats or old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (250 mL) of water or milk
Makes 1 serving of oatmeal [Edit]Stovetop Rolled Oats - Boil 1 cup (250 mL) of water in a pot on your stove. Measure out 1 cup (250 mL) of water and pour it into a pot, then grab a pinch of salt and toss it into the water. Set the pot on a stovetop burner and turn the heat on to high, then wait for the water to boil.[1]
- The ratio of water to rolled oats to make oatmeal is always 2:1, so you can easily scale this recipe up to make more servings. For example, use 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats and 2 cups (500 mL) of water to make 2 servings.
- A pinch of salt is about 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) or a little less. The salt is optional, but it helps bring out the flavor of the oats when you cook them on the stovetop.
- You can substitute milk for some or all of the water to make your oatmeal creamier.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (45 g) of rolled oats and wait for the oatmeal to boil again. Measure out 1/2 cup (45 g) of rolled oats using a measuring cup and pour it into the boiling water. Stir the oats into the water and wait a few seconds until the mixture returns to a boil.[2]
- You can also add the oats to the water at the beginning and bring everything to a boil at once. It doesn't really matter, but it might take a bit longer to boil initially.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for 3-5 minutes until it thickens. Turn the burner's heat down to low, so that there are a few bubbles in the oatmeal every second or two. Use a large spoon to stir the oatmeal occasionally for 3-5 minutes until it's a thick, even consistency.[3]
- You might have to play with the heat on your specific burner to get the oatmeal to simmer perfectly. If it's not bubbling over low heat, try turning up the heat to medium-low or medium.
- Remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes. Turn off your stove and transfer the pot to a cool burner or another safe surface. Let it rest for about 2-3 minutes, so it's not blazing hot when you serve it.[4]
- You could use this time to start preparing all your tasty toppings.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Use your large spoon to scoop the oatmeal out of the pot. Put the oatmeal in a serving bowl, sweeten it if you want and add any desired toppings, then enjoy![5]
- If you scaled the ratio of oats and water up to make more than 1 serving of oatmeal, divide it accordingly among several bowls. For instance, if you doubled the recipe, divide the oatmeal evenly between 2 bowls.
[Edit]Microwave Rolled Oats - Combine 1/2 cup (45 g) of rolled oats and 1 cup (250 mL) of water in a bowl. Measure out the oats and the water using a measuring cup and pour the ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Give the oats and water a quick stir using a spoon to mix them together.[6]
- You can use milk instead of water or use a mixture of milk and water for creamier oatmeal.
- Make sure the bowl has a capacity of at least 2 cups (500 mL), so the oatmeal doesn't spill over the rim when it bubbles up.
- You can scale up this recipe by keeping the ratio of oats to water the same. For example, you can use 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats and 2 cups (500 mL) of water to make 2 servings. Just make sure you also scale up the bowl accordingly.
- Microwave the oats and water on high for 2, then check the consistency. Stick the bowl in your microwave and set the power to high. Set the cook time for 2 minutes and start your microwave. Check the consistency of the oatmeal after the 2 minutes are up and remove it if it's thick after 2 minutes.[7]
- Always cook rolled oats uncovered in the microwave or you might end up with a mess in there.
- Cook the oatmeal for an additional 1 minute if it hasn't fully thickened. Set the cook timer on your microwave for 1 minute. Start the microwave and let the oatmeal finish cooking, then remove it when the microwave turns off.[8]
- Rolled oats shouldn't ever require more than 3 minutes to fully cook and thicken in a microwave.
- Stir the oatmeal before serving. Carefully take the bowl out of your microwave using an oven mitt or glove. Set it down on your counter and stir it up well with a spoon. Sweeten the oatmeal and add toppings as desired, then dig in![9]
- Microwaves have hot and cold spots, so this ensures that your bowl of oatmeal is evenly warm throughout.
[Edit]Adding Sweeteners and Toppings - Sweeten your oatmeal with brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. Sprinkle about 1 tsp (4.17 g) of brown sugar on top of your oatmeal for a classic sweetener. Drizzle your bowl of oatmeal with about of honey or maple syrup or to taste for an alternative sweetener.[10]
- Feel free to mix sweeteners if you want! For example, you could use of maple syrup and 1/2 tsp (2.29 g) of brown sugar for a delicious combo.
- Pour a splash of your favorite milk or creamer on top of your oatmeal. Use whatever milk or creamer you have handy to add some creamy goodness to your oatmeal. Just pour it on top of the oats slowly until you add as much as you feel is enough.[11]
- You can also substitute your favorite non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, if you don't do dairy or prefer the taste of a milk alternative.
- If you're on a diet, go for something like low-fat or nonfat milk.
- Top a serving of oatmeal with a pat of butter for a rich, creamy dairy addition. Slice a small square of butter off a stick of butter and put it in the middle of a hot bowl of oatmeal. Let it melt and stir it into your oatmeal as you eat it to enhance the flavor.[12]
- You can combine this with a splash of cream and a sprinkle of sea salt for a nice savory bowl of oatmeal.
- Try adding warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, or ginger. Start by sprinkling on about 1/8 tsp (0.75 g) of any warm spice you want to try. Stir it in as you eat your oatmeal to flavor the whole bowl.[13]
- Get creative and experiment with combining different spices to create a unique blend that suits your tastes.
- You can also use store-bought warm spice blends, such as pumpkin spice.
- Top oatmeal with your favorite fruits for added flavor and nutrients. Try adding a handful of fresh or frozen berries like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries. Cut up some fresh fruit like an apple or 1/2 a banana and add that to your serving of oatmeal.[14]
- You can also use dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, and dried apricots as toppings. It's totally up to you and your personal preferences.
- Try your oatmeal with nuts and seeds to add some crunch and protein. Put a small handful of almonds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts, or any other nuts you have handy on top of your bowl of oatmeal. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, flax seeds, or chia seeds on top for another crunchy and healthy option.[15]
- Try thinking about your favorite pastries or desserts and the flavor combinations they use to pair nuts with other ingredients. For example, pecans go very well with maple, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Put a scoop of peanut butter in your oatmeal for a creamy, nutty topping. Pick a jar of your favorite creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Dig a scoop out and plop it right down into your oatmeal. Stir it in as you eat to flavor every bite![16]
- If you're using creamy peanut butter, you could add a small handful of roasted peanuts for some crunch.
- You could also use another nut butter like almond butter if you prefer.
- Stir chocolate chips into your oatmeal to get your chocolate fix. Sprinkle a small handful of chocolate chips on top of a warm bowl of oatmeal. Stir them in as you eat the oatmeal so the chocolate melts into it.[17]
- You could also try stirring in a spoonful of cocoa powder to infuse your whole bowl of oatmeal with chocolatey flavor.
- Mix about half a scoop of protein powder into oatmeal to add protein. Use the scoop provided with your protein powder of choice to measure out half a regular scoop. Dump it into your oatmeal and stir it in thoroughly.[18]
- You can use flavored protein powder like chocolate or strawberry protein powder to add more flavor to your oatmeal as well.
- There aren't really any limits to what you can top oatmeal with. Try all kinds of different combinations and take note of your favorites to come up with your own unique oatmeal recipes!
[Edit]Warnings - Be careful when you handle a bowl of oatmeal after microwaving it and use something to protect your hands. The bowl is hot!

| How to Understand Social Distancing Posted: 09 Nov 2020 08:00 AM PST The term "social distancing" is all over the news, but what does it really mean? This term refers to staying a specific distance away from other people to help prevent illnesses from spreading. The specific distance is determined by health experts and national governments, and social distancing is a recommended medical practice to help "flatten the curve," or lower the number of COVID-19 cases throughout the world.[1] With all the misinformation online, take a few minutes review how to social distance and learn why it's so important to help stop COVID-19. [Edit]The Basics - Know that the term "physical distancing" also refers to "social distancing." You may hear the terms "social distancing" and "physical distancing" used a lot. While these terms mean the same thing, the World Health Organization (WHO) actually prefers the term "physical distancing" over "social distancing." The main purpose of this practice is to stay separated, which can lower your risk of spreading or receiving COVID-19. However, for the sake of your mental health, it's still important to stay engaged and connected with your loved ones, even if it's through a video chat.[2]
- Stay , or your government's recommended distance, away from other people. COVID-19 typically spreads through droplets, like sneezes or coughs, as well as germ-infested surfaces, which are typically found in public spaces. These droplets can travel a pretty long distance through the air, which is why physical distancing is so important.[3] Try to put a lot of space between you and the people around you.[4]
- Check with your government for the most up-to-date advice on how far to distance from other people.
- In the US, a distance of is advised. For reference, 2 golden retrievers standing back-to-back, a sedan, a dining room table, or a long sofa are all about . Pretend 1 of these things is between you and the people around you.
- Wear a face mask whenever you go out in public. Since COVID-19 typically spreads through coughs and sneezes, it's best to keep your mouth and nose covered whenever you go outside.[5] Both medical masks and cloth coverings can provide ample protection when you're out and about, and can prevent your own germs from spreading to other people.[6]
- Always double-check that your mask is covering both your nose and mouth, or else it won't be very effective.
- Don't attend parties or big gatherings. Social distancing can be really lonely, and it's perfectly valid and normal to miss the company of others. Unfortunately, party-goers aren't practicing proper social distancing guidelines, and there's a lot of opportunities for germs to spread when lots of people are close together. With this in mind, stick to video chats or phone calls when you're craving some social interaction.[7]
- Always follow the specified COVID-19 restrictions provided for your area, like the maximum number of people allowed in a social gathering.[8]
- Stay away from crowded areas. Going out in public is inevitable, especially when you're going to pick up groceries and other necessities. If choose to visit a public space, check that they're practicing safe social distancing measures, so you can stay safe during your visit.[9]
- As a general rule of thumb, stay away from most public spaces unless you absolutely have to go there.
- Do your best to wipe down any surfaces that other people may have touched, and use contactless payment options whenever you can.
- Call or video chat with loved ones instead of visiting. Get in touch with a friend or family member and see if they'd like to chat or catch-up. If a phone call isn't cutting it for you, see if they'd be interested in video chatting. While there's no real replacement for in-person social gatherings, virtual hang-outs can help you stay connected.[10]
- For instance, you can watch movies with others using "party" programs on popular streaming services.
- There are plenty of multiplayer games you can download to play with other people.
- Work from home instead of your usual workplace. Social distancing doesn't just apply to your grocery runs—it's an aspect that you should add to every part of your life. If possible, talk to you supervisors and see if working from home is a viable option, so you don't risk spreading germs to your co-workers.[11]
- Order delivery instead of eating at restaurants. COVID-19 is exhausting both emotionally and mentally, and there's no reason for you to cook meals every single day. It's great to support your local restaurants—just do it safely by ordering delivery through the restaurant or a third-party delivery service.[12]
- Delivery drivers make a lot of effort to stay sanitary.[13]
[Edit]Explaining Social Distancing to Children - Read educational children's books to your little ones. Search online for children's books and videos that offer bite-sized, educational messages about the importance of social distancing. This is a great way to introduce the topic to young ones without making it seem overwhelming.[14]
- For instance, "Time to Come In, Bear" is a great children's story you can share with your own kids.
- You can also use simple analogies to drive the point home. Remind your kids that social distancing is similar to standing back or pulling over when an ambulance or fire truck goes by. While social distancing may be inconvenient, it's a valuable way to keep other people safe.
- Turn social distancing into a game for really little kids. Tell your young children that they're superheroes and that they can "save" the world by keeping their distance from the people around them. Encourage your children to make an effort to dodge and avoid the people they pass on the street. To make the game more engaging, offer points and rewards for your child's actions.[15]
- For instance, you can give your kid a "point" for sneezing into their elbow, or running to avoid someone on the street. Once they have 10 points, they can earn a small prize.
- Show your children kid-friendly videos that explain social distancing. There are a lot of videos on the web that help break down what exactly social distancing is to younger viewers. Fun videos can make the topic a lot less overwhelming and may help hit home with your children.[16]
- Engage younger kids by turning face masks into something fun. Invest in fun-looking cloth masks that your kids will really enjoy wearing. This can help your children really look forward to staying safe when they go outside.[17]
- For instance, you can get a mask with a dinosaur design, or one that makes your child look like a cat.
- Your kids may also enjoy masks with a lot of fun colors and patterns.
- Explain social distancing in more detail to older kids. Chances are, your grade school children won't be as interested in games and stories that explain the basics of social distancing. Without going into any scary details, explain how COVID-19 spreads really easily, and how social distancing helps to "flatten the curve" of how many people catch the illness. It may help to show them a graph or other diagram that shows why social distancing is important.[18]
- For instance, you can say something like: "COVID-19 is kind of like a cold, and it spreads really easily from person to person. When we stand apart from other people and keep our distance, we lower the risk of getting sick, as well as spreading the virus to anyone else."
- It's still important to go outside! Exercise and fresh air are very important—all that matters is that you're distancing yourself whenever you head out.[19]
- Sanitize your hands frequently.[20]
[Edit]Warnings - If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home and isolate yourself from any roommates or family members that you live with.[21]
