Question : I’ve received a web-link to a recording of a Zoom-call that I was in a few days ago, but it is password-protected and only available to watch for a few days… but I won’t be able to wacht the replay the recording since I need to travel these coming days…
Is it possible to download a (password-protected) replay of the Zoom-call ?
Answer : Downloading online video is possible, but most FREE options (either online or from the Mac AppStore) don’t have an option to download Zoom-calls and/or password-protected videos.
One of the simplest (and cheapest) options to do so is using the Downie.app : – download the Downie.app for macOS (if you don’t already have it) – open the Downie.app – open the recording of the Zoom-call in Safari (or any other webbrowser) – copy (or drag) the URL into Downie.app – in the window that opens, typ in the Zoom session password when prompted – you will now see the Zoom call appear in the list of downloads, but downloading will be stalled – now, fiirst click ‘Done’ in the window where you previously typed the Zoom session password – then the window will close and the download will automatically – when done, you can find the downloaded recording in the place where you set Downie to save any downloads
Question : I have found a website thatI want to take a screenshot of, but the info on the webpage is such a lot that I have to scroll to see it all, so I can’t take a regular screenshot of it…
Is there any way of taking a screenshot of the entire webpage ?
Answer : Yes, there is. To get a screenshot of all the content on one webpage that cannot be diplayed on your screen all at once, do this : – open the Safari.app – open the website that you want to take a screenshot of – in the top menu bar, click ‘File’ – then, in the pulldown menu, click ‘Export as PDF’ – in the window that appears, select the location where you want the PDF to be saved – now you will have a PDF with a screenshot of all the contanct on that webpage
That’s it !
enjoy π
NOTE : when creating a PDF of a website, don’t use the regular way of going to the ‘Print’ option… because, that way you will get a PDF of the content info of the webpage being separated into parts and put oll over the PDF-page seamingly randomly…
Question : I was given a link to an online presentation, and when I opend it it turned out to be a presentation that was hosted in Google Docs that I could view and scroll through, which is great. But I would like to keep it for future reference, and even though I could just bookmark the URL, I would prefer to download the presentation to make sure I can still access it when I’m offline.
Is there any way to download this presentation ?
Answer : Yes, there is. And it is even quite simple. Just do this : – open the link to the online presentation in your (Safari) webbrowser – click on the generic “docs.google.com” URL to reveal the entire URL – the entire URL will look like this : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyy where the part represented by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the File ID code and the part represented by yyyyyyyyyyy is the code needed to correctly display the file in your browser – copy entire URL ( by using the [CMD] + [C] key combo ) – open a new tab page in your browser ( by using the [CMD] + [T] key combo ) – paste the entire URL in that new tab page (by using the [CMD] + [V] key combo ) – now edit the entire URL by deleting the yyyyyyyyyyy part – if you want to download the presentation as a PDF, alter the URL to : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/export/pdf – or, if you want to download the presentation as a PowerPoint file, alter the URL to : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/export/pptx – then press the [ENTER] key on your keyboard – when a popup window appears asking you if you a re sure you want to download the presentation, click OK – now, the presentation will be downloaded into your Download folder
Question : I am trying to use Microsoft 365 (previously Office 365, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and OneDrive), and even though everything used to work fine up until recently… today it gave me an error message saying that it need JavaScript to enable me to use the options I am trying to use…
What is wrong and how do I fix this ?
Answer : Microsoft 365 (previously named Office 365) relies on JavaScript for most (if not all) functionality that is web-based, so if you have (accidentally) switched JavaScript OFF, you will need to turn it back on before you can fully use Microsoft 365 again.
The problem probably is that you recently switched OFF JavaScript by accident… so the solution is probably simple : just switch JavaScript back ON.
