Local/AU Australian ZOOM help night Thursday 5th November from 7pm - 11pm

[AAH]

I might poke my head in for a bit. I've had an absolutely mad year and barely made my presence known on chat or on zoom this year.
I did have 1 question and it relates to Teamviewer and Zoom. I help out a few people 1 on 1 and up until recently I'd use teamviewer as it works, allows remote control, it's free and lots of people already have it. Now it's decided that I was using it for commercial use so I removed it from my old laptop and have gone to fumbling around with Zoom when I help people out. It's not worth $AU800 a year to buy software that I use for free support. That brings me back to Zoom. Is it possible to remotely control the other persons computer and if so how as I couldn't work it out.

Yes, you press the request control button (it's near where you find annotate when someone is screen sharing)

Without a lot better info that sounds a lot like a power loss issue to me. If you create a sequence and light up the trees from the end of the string and work backwards do you get some weird results with a potential latch up at the far end?

Hi Guys, Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help tonight. I just had a play with the CAT cable going from the dongle to the DMX board and it looks like it is faulty, so that may be the issue. I'll swap it out and see how I go.

Cheers All,

Dan

glad you have had more progress Danny

Just wanted to thank everyone for helping out tonight! I think I learnt more in a few hours than I learnt in the last 4 months. Zoom sessions are great and we should have more of them. I understand they take a bit of organising though. Thanks again!

 

[Albrador]

thanks for all your help, you boys are absolute legends

Thanks to all the guys on the zoom tonight who help me and everyone else out today. Really appreciate all the help you gave in getting all of our lights up and running correctly.

you can do it over Zoom by requesting control, but if you are loooking for more of a Teamviewer replacement try Anydesk.

Great to hear you've made progress. Don't forget that the normal zoom room is available 24/7. During the day the US guys are in there, but they still know the same stuff we do. In the evenings the US clears out and it's mainly AUS/NZ in there. Even if only 1 person is there, they could still help so don't be affraid to ask.
