Zoom webinar tips for the online UK Income Tax Seminar

Questions and Answers (Q&As)

A webinar is a training session conducted over the internet. You’ll connect to the class from the computer and can interact with the presenters by typing questions and messages. You’ll see live video of the presenters and the presentation slides. UK Income Tax Seminars are conducted using Zoom online meeting software. After registering for a seminar, you’ll receive an email confirmation of your registration, as well as a webinar confirmation email with your login links and instructions.

In order to guarantee workbook delivery in time for the online sessions, you must register by the early registration deadline. Registrations will be accepted after that date, but we cannot guarantee that you will receive your printed book in time for your online classes. This book is copyrighted by the Land Grant University Tax Education Foundation so you may not copy it or share it with others. We cannot ship to PO Boxes. You must provide a street address for shipment.

To comply with IRS requirements, attendance will be tracked by asking polling questions at regular and frequent intervals throughout each session. The polling question will appear on your screen and you select a response. Failure to answer polling questions will result in loss of CE credit for portions of the course.

Note: We poll at a higher frequency than required by most accrediting organizations. Missing one or two polls by accident will NOT result in loss of credit hours. Should there be an issue submitting polling answers, a verification word will be established each day for attendees to write in the chat at the time of each polling question.

Certificates of attendance will be emailed or mailed within 20 days of the conclusion of the seminars. Credit will be based on actual time in attendance, based on login/logout information and participation in polling questions.  You will be required to select which type of continuing education credits you are seeking when you register.  If you are seeking Insurance Continuing Education, you must know your KYDOI # or NPN # at the time of registration. If you are seeking IRS CPE credits, you must know your PTIN number at the time of registration. PLEASE list your name exactly as it is listed on your PTIN information.

No! Multiple participants may not “share” one login/password. Each webinar participant MUST register for the Income Tax Seminar and sign-in individually. ONLY the individual tied to the login/password information will receive CE credits.

Online participants must first register for the seminar via this website, by mail, or by fax. Once your registration is received, you will be sent a Zoom registration link via email to confirm access with your name and email. These two steps will result in an email invitation.

Access the Zoom seminar by clicking on link provided in email invitation. In popup window, click “Join with computer audio” button.

For the best experience, use a laptop or desktop computer to attend the online seminar. Phones, tablets and other smaller devices can connect to Zoom, but polling, chat and Q&A features can be limited.

Tips and Etiquette

  • If possible, plug directly into router at home for an Ethernet connection.
  • If using WiFi, limit the number of connected devices to WiFi during the Zoom meeting time.
  • Avoid streaming additional video or audio over the same connection while on the Zoom webinar.
  • Close all unnecessary applications on the device.

 

  • Use headphones or a headset to provide improved audio quality.
  • If not using a headset, make sure you are in a quiet location.
  • Computers have multiple audio devices. To select the correct speaker, click the up arrow next to the microphone icon. If in doubt, choose “Same as System”.
  • If you are using an iOS or Android device, you may need to tap on the screen for the controls to appear at the bottom.
  • Silence mobile devices to prevent interruption.
  • The Q&A Zoom feature allows participants to ask questions during the seminar, and for the instructors to see and answer their questions. You may ask a question or "upvote" an existing question that you also would like to see answered.
  • Note: Instructors will do their best to answer questions. Some questions may be answered by an off-screen instructor. It is possible that not all questions will be answered so that all the learning objectives can be covered. We will do our best to post answers to any unanswered questions to the Seminar Materials page on our website.
  • Use chat to communicate with the facilitator/coordinator of the seminar.
  • Do not use the chat function to ask instructor questions. Please use the Q&A for this purpose.
  • I can’t hear anyone – Your computer system volume can be low or muted.
  • I can’t see the shared screen presentation – The meeting host might not have a presentation to share yet. If you are concerned you are not seeing shared content, then send in a chat.
  • I don’t see anyone in the meeting. Am I in the right meeting? – Check to make sure you are using the correct Zoom meeting link. Check ‘participants’ icon to see if other participants have joined. You may just be early.
  • I can't log in to the online seminar – Email trish.murphy@uky.edu for instructions.

All interactions via the Zoom application including polling answers and chats will be recorded, downloaded and retained by our office for a period of five years. This data is used to determine attendance for the purpose of issuing continuing education credit.
