Looks great and helpful overall: A few notes on specific lines below: Line 39 "ad-blocking strategy" - this is relevant to both workshop types. Also "ad management" is probably better (with ideal being use an ad-free account or prewatch the ads day-of and cue up the video after them, since ad blockers are somewhere in a murky space, legal but maybe not the best to recommend officially?). Line 52 - "remind trainees to fill out the application" - what application is this that they need reminded during the event? Whatever it is, there should probably be a link and/or explanation here. Line 58 - why did this change from required to optional and remove the checkout linking? Is that function now being managed through other systems like AMY? Line 160 - should we perhaps leave at least 1 link to a general guide on Zoom hosting if we remove all the detailed instructions? There may be people who are not used to Zoom or to hosting on Zoom and aren't aware what it can do, especially outside academia or in the global south. Line 170ff - the conventions for initials (FL or F.L. or F.L or FL.) are inconsistent here. |

@ndporter the checkout checklist that was linked here is very outdated. At this time we feel that our pre-training email and follow-up reminder (sent ~2 months after training) are sufficient in providing all the necessary information that trainees will need.

@ndporter if you'd like to add a link to the zoom documentation in the handbook, you can do that. However, I think we (CT) decided our goal was to cut back on the instructional content on our end because this adds to the maintenance load for our documentation when Zoom makes changes. So I think the most sustainable choice is to link only to instructions that are hosted and maintained by Zoom.
