If you are able to access queueme.in (requires Cornell GSuite signin): (instructions by Rhea Bansal and Will Xiao)

  1. Create a Zoom meeting and copy the meeting URL. It should be a link of the form https://cornell.zoom.us/j/some_10_digit_number
  2. Log into queueme.in. This is the site we will be using to manage the queue in virtual office hours.
  3. MAKE SURE you are in CS 1110 SP 2020. It should say “CS 1110” in the top left corner.
  4. Click “Join the Queue” on the appropriate office/consulting hour slot.
  5. The window that pops up should have four sections - Categories, Tags, Location, and Question. Non-obvious: You must fill them out in order - that is, you cannot fill out the later ones without filling out the previous ones first.
  6. Choose one category.
  7. Choose some tags from your chosen category. You must choose at least one for the next “Location” box to unlock. Screenshot (courtesy Will Xiao) where a category and tag has been chosen : screen shot of four sections shown by queumein
