Nice work! Thank-you so much! Question, if possible. On an iMac, and had to see a presentation on zoom. Was all last minute and I joined late. But all I could get was video and no audio. The OS and computer is all up-to-date. The link - invite sent to me was valid. Browser is Safari. What went wrong? The prompts - on zoom - kept saying that I had to ?? install Firefox or Chrome. Don't think so. What should I do for next time? Thank-you.

So I could see for myself that I was signed in, again. Oh well. This was my first time trying a Zoom link. Am pretty sure will be using this a lot in the future.

Of course, there are several ways to join a meeting. This is just one of them. I've yet to see a video that, step by step, shows all the different ways to join a meeting AND with all the different types of devices. Now that could be boring. However, it would cover the bases, wouldn't it? In my world, there is only one best way to join a meeting. First, use a computer, not a mobile device. Second, download the Zoom client for the very best possible experience. This is done by clicking on the RESOURCE link in the top right corner of zoom.us. Third, when you click on a link to join a meeting, it contains both the meeting ID and password, so there's no need to type anything in. Fourth, when the browser opens after clicking on the link, click the ALLOW button. That will launch the Zoom client and immediately get you into the meeting - once the host admits you. But I've overlooked one important step. When you get an invitation to join a meeting, PUT IT IN YOUR CALENDAR so you can't forget where the link is, and what date and time the meeting is. Finally, UPDATE your Zoom app OFTEN. I've seen a new update come out almost every week. The app has a "Check for updates" link right inside the pop-up menu when you click on the icon in the far upper right of the Zoom window (before you join a meeting).

Thanks for your comment, Peter. Usually the person who is talking will be in the big picture. However, when you're talking, you'll see the last person who talked while everyone else will see you. It's a little confusing, isn't it? But under normal conditions, if you're talking, you'll be in everyone else's big picture. Hope this helps!
