      When I get together with two of my best bear friends to work on bears together, we call it our “Bear Bee”.

      I thought it would be fun to have a virtual video Bear Bee for all members of Teddy Bear Academy!

      The Bear Bee will be broadcast via Zoom.

      When it’s time for the next Bear Bee, grab the latest bear you are working on and join in on the video chat!

      What is Zoom?

      • Zoom is  video conferencing software.

      How do I get Zoom?

      • You can download the Zoom app onto your phone, iPad or other tablet.
      • To get the app on your phone, iPad or tablet, go into your App Store and search for Zoom.
      • If you are using your computer, you don’t really need to download Zoom, you can join via your internet browser.

      Do I have to have a Zoom Account?

      • No, a Zoom account is not necessary if you are just joining as a participant.  If you do want to join, a basic Zoom account is free.

      Do I have to have a webcam to join the Bear Bee?

      • No, you do not have to have a webcam, but if you don’t have one then you will not be able to transmit video of yourself.  You will only be able to watch.

      Can I use the camera on my tablet, phone or laptop?

      • Yes

      How to I join a Bear Bee?

      • When the next Bear Bee is live, there will be a link in this forum.  Just click on that to be brought into the Bear Bee.  This is for Members only.

      If you are joining on a laptop or other computer that has a webcam, here is a video that shows you how to join:

        Do you have the videos saved anywhere? I am in Perth Australia and your bear bees are in the middle of the night for me lol.

        I didn’t know if there was a way to save them to watch at a later date?

          Hi Shani!

          I am going to try something different this time and see if we can record it.  I tried last time but had issues with it.  I’ll let you know how it goes!

            Hi Shani,

            I am still having technical problems recording the sessions and am trying to work with tech support about it.

            In this session we talked about attaching ears.  There are two videos in the classroom about ears.  My original videos showing how I attach ears to Marco:  https://teddybearacademy.net/forums/topic/attaching-ears/

            And a more recent video showing a tip on how to place the ears.  It’s a trick that I came up with recently: https://teddybearacademy.net/forums/topic/trick-for-positioning-ears/.

            If you have any questions about these ears videos let me know and I’ll answer 🙂
