I can't find a better tutorial regarding this area, you are extraordinarily good at making tutorials so so so easy to understand, each step is so precious, with the time stamps and the additional information provided like links are so so helpful, I cannot say enough to appreciate your tutorials. I am a know-nothing-about-how-to-handle-zoom, now I know most of the fields in zoom, because have done a great help. Thank you, Kevin, keep up the good work, so that many many more people can benefit in this computorized world.
