HOW TO USE ZOOM - How to Host/Attend a Meeting [for Beginners]

Need to host or attend a conference and nervous that you might screw up? In this video, I show you everything you need to know about hosting or attending a meeting/class/conference/lecture/call online with Zoom. Zoom is a powerful and popular platform for online video meetings with great features such as sharing video, audio, screen/windows, document cameras, white boards, chats, and much more. There are several plans available, but to start, Zoom is completely free with a 4 person limit and 40 minute limit on meetings. You can choose a plan and host up to 1000 people in a single meeting, or broadcast a lecture to 10,000 and the streams can last up to ~24 hrs. I hope this video helps you to better understand how to use Zoom on your desktop or laptop (or mobile device). Thank you for watching!

[manfredo.]

I'm trying to do this so I can talk to my friends

[nigelovens]

Thank you for this clear, straight-to-the-point and babble-free tutorial! Brilliant!!

[aquarius.]

Whos here only because Corona forced you here and you never cared about zoom before lol

[yadiq.]

Thank you, I have a zoom interview tomorrow and I had no idea how to use this. This makes more sense. Say a little prayer for me guys. I really want/need this job 🙏🏼❤️.

amazing! I'm a newbie to the app and your straightforwardness has helped me greatly! thanks! I am a teacher and I need to echo this to my colleagues tho I might just send them a link to your video. :D thanks a lot!

This video was really helpful, it showed me some more little important parts in Zoom. The presentation was at a really good pace and kept the content to the basics. Thank you

[NeilBWood]

Mike, this was very useful as I prep for my first Hosting event on zoom. Thank you!

[etiennejoseph]

Just wanted to add a thank you for providing a very well-made and useful how-to video. Much appreciated!

[stevenmacdonald]

excellent presentation. It was lucid and to the point. It definitely helped me set up my first few classes because I am teaching online and using zoom. Thank you!

[jamieb]

Watched another video before this one just to compare and make sure I didn't miss anything. My partner used this for his family's virtual Thanksgiving get-together. We're gonna use it for my family's virtual Christmas get-together. I double checked and the free version allows up to 100 participants not just 4. Happy Zooming!

Mike, thank you for a very efficient beginner tutorial. Question: if you plan to share videos during a meeting, how would you go about setting it up? What videos work better: locally hosted or cloud-hosted? Thank you!

[muoyly]

Here is really my first time using this app.. I appreciate it❤️

[nanamara]

Thank you so much! This is the best way to connect with family and friends during this craziness

[setarehveyseh]

Thanks for your video! My quesions is: I have just "basic" and "advanced" options when I want to share screen. I dont have "files"! how I can bring it back?(I had that option before but not now!)

[mariokolkwitz]

Hi and thanks for the great video! I'll host a meeting next week and was wondering whether the recording option also captures the breakout rooms? There will be someone writing protocol of the meeting but of course, with several breakout rooms, it won't be possible to have someone writing for each and every of these rooms.

Thank you!

[sweetykakes]

Love, love, love your style of teaching and covering every little detail. Well done. Thanks for your concern. I hope all is well with you and you are continuing to stay safe.

[wobble]

Helpful! A little fast! Also, remember not everyone is familiar with the screen and where the tool buttons are so when you are referring to buttons on the bottom or the top make sure to be very clear on that. Thanks

[seiblair]

Thank you so much for this. You made it seem very easy for someone that is new to Zoom to be able to set up a meeting to teach English. I appreciate you sharing.

[nigelfelixcheongde]

A clear and easy-to-follow walk-through. Thank you.
