Could you show how to add captions to our zoom meetings/
Scott, one of the simplest yet most important tips has to do with your device that you are using. If you are working off of a laptop or tablet, one must always elevate their camera to just slightly above eye level. As you mentioned in your opening, a lot of people are conducting video conference meeting today. Good examples on why this is important can be found on the hundreds of people appearing on cable news shows. 8 out of 10 times, they are looking down at the camera and you as the viewer are looking up their nose. What I have done is grabbed an old Amazon shipping box about 4 or 5 inches in height. I place my laptop on it and when I am in a meeting, I am in essence making "eye contact" with the viewer on the other side. A stack of books couls also work.

@@skipneumann1 Skip, when you say that the Brio "...is hanging..." what do you mean. I have a Logitech C922 1080P HD webcam mounted to a 27 inch Sharp computer monitor. The C922 is of similar design to the Brio and it mounts perfectly to my monitor. I place it in the middle and make sure that the rear attachment if flush to the back so that the front of the camera angles down ever so slightly. When on a Zoom call think Television newscaster. While they are looking at a teleprompter mounted to the side of below the camera, it is "the camera iris" that they are actually looking at. It takes some getting used to so you have to stay really focused when you are speaking to look at the camera and not the screen where everyone else is at. If you will also review any of the current TV reporters on the news channels that are reporting from home, you will notice that they are looking straight ahead to the camera. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the "floating menu" tip! I often wondered how to hide it temporarily for the same problem you highlighted in the video. Tip I'd like to share: when creating your meetings, click on "enable join before host" which allows participants to join the meeting room before I do. I use Zoom to schedule my own meetings as well as for my executives and this tip allows everyone to join without me having to start the meeting or my executives can use different devices and still lead their meetings.

I understand that there could be security issues with doing this, e.g. if a bad actor gets access to your meeting and offends your participants before you join. There may be other settings (such as authentication) which help you still do this though.
Having recently been thrust into online teaching "thanks" to COVID, I've watched a host of YT videos and participated in many webinars on Zoom to get up to speed, but this video contains a serious amount of REALLY useful information I'd still not come accross. Personal favourite: the Zoom add on for the calendar/browser! Many thanks for this short, polished and practical video!

Miriam, you will need to experiment with your background to get this to work, it entirely depends on the background and may not work. You will need a monochromatic background and tell Zoom what colour that is. When it does work, don't move around a lot.
My favorite was "Pause Share," because it can result in more professional (polished) recordings.
Scott after being on so many meetings in Zoom mode. It was nice to learn these 7 simple tips the back ground one was key for my business needs. Thank you so much for this quick easy guide. Loved it....
What I really loved is the annotations and the virtual background. So fascinating.
As a facilitator, I sometimes would use "Break-out session", some tips would be thanked.
Great tips! Muting a specific participant is also quite handy ... Sometimes people join and they don't even know how to mute themselves or just not as sensitive to the need to do so ....cheers !!

With that popularity came Zoom's privacy risks extending rapidly to massive numbers of people. From built-in attention-tracking features to recent upticks in "Zoombombing" (in which uninvited attendees break into and disrupt meetings with hate-filled or pornographic content), Zoom's security practices have been drawing more attention -- along with at least three lawsuits against the company.

I agree with that. Alternatively, I also created a 20min "meeting will begin soon" video. So I manually start the meeting about 10-15mins prior to start time for the early birds, share-screen while that video is playing just in case I'm running a bit late. The video is just a bunch of video clips of nature scenes with added copyright-free elevator type music and words on screen saying "Welcome, meeting will begin soon." That way the meeting officially starts and everyone knows they're in the right place. Makes the "waitiing time" look more official. For people in business, you can create this type of "meeting will begin soon" video and include silent ads of your products, services or even ads for upcoming events for your biz. Easy to create in PowerPoint.

I teach fitness classes on Zoom with just my laptop and camera/audio from the computer. There is even an option in the setting where you can have the audio/sound adjust automatically. They can all hear me well and I also play music while I am instructing/speaking. Of course they are all muted. You can ask the participants and check in with them.

I suggest getting a bluetooth headset. The Plantronics 5200 is excellent, stays on your ear well and runs several hours of talking. I have had three of that model (two of the earlier Voyager Legend). I bought one recently on eBay for $46.
Thank you so much! I need this video and your directions were perfect!

Glad I could help!
show meeting duration, play sound for the entering participants, share computer sound-optimize screen for video share and nonverbal feedback are the tips that i also use in my meetings :)
I like the annotation factor for presenting during the zoom meeting. the instructor can keep his audience on track and the visuals help the audience to locate where on the screen the instructor is providing his information from. It is a win/win situation!
Sir..you missed one imp.feature that is of disabling annotators...so that participants do nt scribble on host's screen.Thnk you
Finally! An effective and intelligent presentation; thank you.
I didn't know about any of these 7 tips. So I love ALL of them! Thank you!

Perhaps you could recommend conferencing software that actually has end to end encryption?!

Zoom announced some encryption upgrades coming. Check their website. I saw that on May 30, all users will need to upgrade to the new release.
This software is life changing! I am so glad it's around right now. I love the "Share audio from computer" feature !

Hi Scott. If I am hosting a zoom, how do I have an alarm sound when someone is waiting for me to let them in? Thanks, Steve C.

I'm not aware of an audible sound that can be produced. But you should receive a visual notification when someone enters the waiting room. Please see the following for more details: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000332726-Waiting-Room#h_f493a86f-7d08-4e3b-9d6d-9b236fe9cdcd
When using Zoom on my computer, I like to invite myself so that I can enter the meeting with my iPhone. That way, I have an extra camera I can use. I teach painting so I can show how I'm mixing paints, for example, while keeping the main camera on my painting or myself.

Thank you! I got the most out of New Share. A good tip I heard was to have natural light on your face as much as you can. Keep these tips coming! Oh--and I can't wait to try Annotate. Thanks again.
Love your videos - clear, packed with good info. thanks.

Learning that the other p articipants do not see the broker when you click on Pause. In addition I need to know how show a You Tube video during a meeting.
Thank you, I love the voice, you have a talent for speaking, I didn't lose my concentration at any time versus many others that put me to sleep immediately, and of course, I loved the tips!

Thanks for this video, I am so glad I can better manage my zoom classrooms now. I love the Alt+P to pause screen while I scramble for stuff. I also love annotations. Stay blessed
