TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Working With Schoology Assignments

Working with OneNote

Cannot connect to Zoom session

Some students and families have reported that when trying to connect to Zoom, a  status dialog "Connecting" appears and does not go away.

Zoom Connecting Error

Others have reported the following error message:

Can't connect o Zoom error message

 

Clearing the Browser Cache (Chrome / Microsoft Edge) will resolve these issues.  Of course, it's always good practice to restart the laptop when having issues.

Cannot connect to home wireless network

Sometimes a laptop will not connect to a home network while other devices can connect.  We recommend resetting the network router following these steps:

 

  1. Power down the laptop (shutdown).

  2. Unplug the power for your modem.

  3. Unplug the power to the router

  4. Leave them both off for 1 to 2 minutes.

  5. Plug the modem back in and let it boot up.(Probably 45 to 60 seconds)

  6. Plug the router in and wait the same amount of time.

  7. Power on the laptop.

  8. Re-connect the laptop to the network.

Zoom has released Version 5.0 that includes advanced security enhancements with support for AES 256-bit GCM encryption. With the new update, you will also see a difference in the options for inviting attendees and for ending/leaving a meeting.


Zoom Version 5.0 (or later) will be required for all Zoom sessions after May 30,2020. As such, everyone will need to upgrade his/her version of Zoom by May 30th.

HF-L STUDENTS:

The device must be on the HF-L campus and connected to the District wireless network in order to receive this update.  Parents/Students will need to go to one of the school buildings and park near the building.  Please follow this process:

  • Shutdown the laptop before coming to campus.

  • Once on campus, turn on the laptop and connect to the HFL Wireless Network.

  • Wait for the Zoom update to occur in about 5 minutes.  When the update is complete, the Zoom app will open and the version will be displayed at the bottom of the Join window.  Please DO NOT start the Zoom app while the update is running.

Clipboard History

Clipboard history allows you to paste previously copied items into any other item (document, email, etc.) saving you time from copying and pasting one item at a time.   This is a huge time saver when copying and pasting comments from one tool to another or when you need to paste a frequently used phrase or term.

To turn this feature on, select the WINDOWS + V key.    Then after copying multiple items, retrieve your copy history by again selecting WINDOWS + V. Simply select the copied item and it will paste right into your active document.    The clipboard history will save up to 25 clips and will be cleared when you restart your machine unless you pin the copied item.
