Mechanical keyboards over zoom- yay or nay? I tested it and Zoom will filter out the background noise if I’m not talking. If I am speaking while typing, others can hear clacking

I just mute myself whenever I’m not talking as much as possible. I constantly mute and unmute so that my keyboard doesn’t annoy everyone on the call

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota

I need advice about Zoom. Is it easier to have a zoom link with your personal Id or a simple generated one?

Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
