Hack #1 - Record your Screen and Face

Volley allows you to record your screen, but what if you want to show your face while you're recording your screen? Use Zoom minimal mode. It provides a movable video window that sits on top of whatever you're presenting.  Here's recipe:

1. Open Zoom
2. Start a meeting
3. Enter minimal mode (minimize window or cmd/ctrl+shift+m)
4. Move the window where you want it to appear on your screen

Bonus for Mac Users:

You can use QuickTime Player to accomplish the same thing.

1. Open QuickTime Player (which comes pre-installed on all Macs)
2. From the menu bar select File > New Movie Recording (⌥⌘N)
3. Go back to the menu bar and select View > Float on Top
4. Move the window where you want it to appear on your screen

Hack #3 - Volley Spaces as a Learning Community

With the release broadcast channels and threads, you can create a number of channels in Volley with dedicated purposes— eg. a course in Volley that community members can view and react to but can't contribute.  This means that you can use volley for 1:1, 1:many, and many:1 instruction. We have two great examples of this use case.

Tim Schmoyer - Video Labs

Tim owns a company called Video Creators that helps people build a business as a creator on YouTube. Video Creators is directly responsible for over 18 billion views on YouTube. They are using Volley for their Video Labs course, which is their premium course for creators who want to grow to six-figures in revenue. Tim likes Volley because it offers a flexible face-to-face experience with a much higher perceived value than any other community or education platform. They also plan to use Volley for their 1:1 coaching.
