So many times the lady was talking but I could not understand what she was talking about, using undefined terms by times. As well she talked about muting and such but the scrolling words seemed to say the opposite of her spoken message. She would be a wonderful teacher if we could learn as fast as she talks. She does indeed know her topic. I wish I could be joyous and hail her from the rooftops.

Thank you so much for this! I had no idea hosts can potentially see private chats & I didn’t know about the slide feature during a shared screen. Great list of tips!

[denisewozniak]

I found one important part to remember is that when you share your screen to a website, make sure you don't have any other website tabs open that you don't want people to see, e.g. if you have a tab open with a title like "my health results" and you are not using it, then shut it down. People will look across the shared page to see what else you are working on, even though the actual item is not fully in view. I hope that makes sense. Great tip about the personal messages being recorded too! Thanks.

Thank you - I host a Zoom meeting for a Bereavement ministry at my church and this certainly helped. - I'm always looking for ways to make it better.

[donability]

Thank you. I get so overwhelmed, it helps to hear someone so energetic and positive, yet practical.

[nizarjiwan]

Your emphasis on gentling smiling and demonstrating how to be comfortable under your own skin when on zoom call was inspiring. Also, screen sharing part towards the end was useful.

Thank you. Just got Zoom and will be teaching very technical class.

This video is excellent and demonstrates the attention to detail every professional Zoomer (and IRL meeting participant) needs to emulate. The 20 meeting tips are all great rudimentary advice (although, I'd say headphones are always advisable, as they let you use optimal audio settings within Zoom). The shot is framed well. The camera is slightly above eye-level and the room is well-lit. Audio is good. Background is attractive, non-distracting, and slightly out of focus. You're killing it, Fei. Thank you. I just subscribed.

Fantastic info! This tip was so helpful. I have an event coming up and I want to spotlight two people. Now I know how. Thank you so much for sharing!

[armandinejacotin]

I took a lot of notes. Thanks for your help.

[billwing]

Thank you so much for your 20 tips. I have a unique problem. I have a TBI condition that presents as trying to show interest in the subject by repeating or agreeing verbally. How can I judge on interrupting or over doing my enthusiasm. Is there a rule 21 that would apply to me? I hope that makes since.🙏

[StephPM]

excellent tips. I want to re-listen to it before choosing my favorite, Very effective.

[adegbenroagoro]

This was your first video that I’ve seen. I really enjoyed it. Subscribed 😄

[thomasnichols]

You are such an excellent presenter!! Thank you!

[MarilynHarding]

Thanks for this amazingly helpful video. I'm giving a presentation at the end of the month and really appreciate your great tips. The ones I found so interesting are the touchup feature - whew! The tip that private messages will be recorded for the host - good to know! Making eye contact by looking at the camera - even if once in a while. Something that needs practice. All the tips were great and helpful. I have shared this. Now I'm going to search your channel for presenting PowerPoint on Zoom. :)

[janetwong]

Great tips. Thank you for sharing Feisworld.

[YinYoga_StefanieArend]

Thank you so much for your great work, it is very helpful! 🙏

Many counselors are using zoom for sessions for people with emotional problems...frankly I feel the web is no replacement for a discussion of how to handle a depression problem. What do you think?
