You're a great teacher! As a career coach, I would definitely add this to your resume: Communicates technical information clearly and effectively to non-technical users. :-)
I want to use this for Piano conferencing. Before this madness we used to meet at peoples homes and play for each other. I'm sure this can be used for Piano Virtual performances. Thanks.
Now this is the way to make a computer video! He has helpful graphics, he moves along at an easy to follow pace, he's pitching to his audience, and not talking over the beginner level with a lot of needless jargon, and he has an excellent speaking voice. . I have seen dozens of computer videos where the guy zips around too fast, he leaves out helpful information and assumes to much knowledge on the part of his audience. Many of those computer videos don't even have a narrator! No one is talking. I know computer boys are famous for poor social skills. But people who make videos on every other topic understand that a tutorial video needs a narrator explaining what is happening on the screen.
Great job at explaining in a clear, consecutive style. Some other "gurus" tend to confuse the issue with just too much info. This video is pretty good!
This was nice and simple, so thanks for that. You filled in some gaps for me. I recently attended a meeting using Zoom and as it turns out, it’s a fairly intuitive platform.

Very helpful, thank you! Is it possible to create a contact list for groups that I'll be connecting with on a regular basis? Also, is it possible to set up an ongoing schedule for weekly meetings versus creating a separate invitation each week? Any help is greatly appreciated! PS. My state just shut down all non-essential businesses so I too am "COVID-19 driven"!
TY for your help with Zoom. I do have a question. At the time of my scheduled meeting, as the host, how do I let guests into the “ room”. I always get texts “ it’s showing that there’s another meeting and we can’t get into the one scheduled “ from those I invited. My upper right hand corner image shows my video cam in red. So it must mean I’m “ joining “ either too early. Or joining the wrong segment.
Great, straightforward tutorial. Thank you!
how do you get the picture of everyone on the meeting to appear on the screen at the same time. Right now Ive only been able to get the person who is talking on the screen
You my friend. Are AWESOME. Every time I watch videos they over explain or under explain. First comment on KZread in years brother. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for a clear and concise introduction to Zoom....I may have to watch it a few more times but excellent, cheers!
Is Zoom still available as a Free App at this time? I had been using it passed 40 minutes and it worked wonderfully. However, on Friday the session timed out at 40 minutes. How can I extend my meeting time?
This was a great video for those of us that are learning how to use Zoom.
Thank you for this video. When you record something is it stored on your computer or is it stored in the cloud and or is there a choice you can make to do either one or both? What is the approximate size of a one hour zoom on your computer/memory please?
I thought you did a fine job on your lesson. You were clear in your descriptions. You articulated well. Your pacing made me very comfortable. You conveyed a pleasant and friendly presence as well. Keep up the good work, my friend. That's what I call good instruction! Thank you!
I am trying to set up my Zoom, however, when I go to "invite" I cannot seem to download my "contacts." HELP, please.

Sandra Fennings Hi Sandra. It’s pretty easy but not obvious. After you push the start button to begin a meeting, your screen will have a menu across the bottom. Push the “more” button on the right side. There’s an option for “virtual background”. Push that button and you can use a default background or add up to 3 photos from your photo library. This works on my iPhone, not sure about android or my MacBook Pro.

First time I'm going to use Zoom this week in a conference. I really hope I'm not going to be the last one in the group to get it set up properly when it goes live. It gets messy when you have a separate cam, from headphones and microphones, etc, and not all built into a laptop. I have a tower PC with loads of different speaker outputs, mic inputs, sound card outputs.

Hi, Thank you for this. I have been teaching fitness classes with large groups of people. I start the Zoom meeting 15 minutes before hand to give everyone a chance to get in and we socialize a little bit waiting for the class to start. For this I find the gallery view to be most beneficial but once I start teaching the class I want to be the only screen that people are able to see. Is there a way for me to prevent those who are attending from seeing others in the class and have their screen lock to me? Also, when I "mute all" am I muting them from hearing each other as well? Once I get it on gallery mode I seem to be having trouble getting the screen back to only showing me and I would like to record the classes so I don't want anyone else's screen showing, even in a smaller box. Once the class is finished I want everyone to be able to socialize again so I've been taking them off mute and I want to go back to Gallery mode. So far I just haven't been able to get off gallery mode once the class starts and have no idea if they have been listening to each other even when I have them on mute. Thanks again! Devon
