How to use Zoom

Learn how to install and use Zoom Video Conferencing in this step-by-step tutorial lesson. Host conferences with up to 100 video participants or students for free.

In this video, I cover how to download and install the zoom client. I then walk through all the functionality available in Zoom. Even if you're a seasoned user, I show more advanced functionality that will allow you to take your Zoom usage to the next level.

As a teacher, you can use Zoom to remotely teach students. Hear and see your students, share your screen, and use a virtual whiteboard to drive your lecture.

For businesses, meet and collaborate with co-workers easily and effectively. See each other, share screens, and present slideshows.

Thank you so much for your videos! I was assigned to train my team on using this feature, your videos are helping me a lot.

Thank you so much! I searched for a video on how to upload recorded music to youtube and found this video too (since you taught on both topics). A great help to me for working now from home tutoring and teaching writing workshops. I will definitely use this helpful video. Thanks for teaching us this!

I am also a beginner with Zoom. I have a job interview coming up via Zoom. This video helped. I am sure I will watch it more than once to become proficient. Thank you.

With the way things have hit the fan lately- I am SO GLAD you made these videos! I think I may ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO TEACH MY STUDENTS FROM HOME!!!! Thank you doesn't even begin to describe things. You've given me hope- I can record my screen and my webcam, I can use Zoom, I can edit out parts of the video my students don't need to see... YOU are truly a godsend right now. THANK YOU

[debramcguigan]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful. I had no idea where to start with zoom.

I watched three other zoom tutorials prior to watching yours, and your videos are always better than the rest! You included features of zoom that none of the others mentioned that I definitely will be wanting to use, so thanks for another excellent tutorial!

Nice and timely video. We need more of these - especially ones that focus on presentations. I am a professor at large public institution with 500+ students. In this crunch with everyone trying to get up to speed with online teaching and presentations zoom looks like a great option. If I only had bought their stock a few months back... retirement would have been possible.

[sameeral-janabi]

Hi Kevin! Thanks for making this video. I have been watching a lot of your excel videos and then found this one about Zoom - brilliant! I have never used it before and I might need to use Zoom for an interview in a few days time.

I want to use the virtual backgrounds but it keeps saying "A solid colour video background is required.". I could hardly see my face in the virtual background and it's asking for a green background which I don't have. Help! :)

[eastertatum]

Video very informative. You did very well and made things seem simplistic. Thank you

[delsiapate]

Thanks, very informative. Learnt a lot.

[aprilhenry]

This is a very helpful video for us beginners! Question: does the free service allow for telephone "call ins" as well as video conferencing or is that just the paid plans?

Hi Kevin, thanks for your zoom sharing (I watched 2 of your videos on zoom & many others). On Zoom: when I used my personal virtual background, I realized the image behind me was reversed (left to right, right to left - this didn't sit well when I have text on the virtual background) - how do I reverse it? secondly my image on video would get distorted or the fingers don't show well, hence I clicked 'I have green screen' but when I did that. My virtual background went back to my actual background and not the jpeg image background I wanted. How do I fix that?

[Humpflicks]

Thanks for this. Excellent video. Not the first time I have enjoyed your content.With Christmas coming up and being locked down tight here, A Zoom meet might just be what my circle needs. All the best

[MetaphysiciansVortex]

Kevin, Thank you for sharing this. My Video will not work. I have been through the videos but cant get it to work/ Is there a way you can assit me?
