Zoom Meeting Tips and Tricks
Scheduling Zoom Meetings
Be sure to turn the Video on for both the Host and Participants before clicking the Schedule button
Check Audio and Visual Settings
When setting up a Zoom meeting make sure to test/check that the meeting owl is the default Speaker and Mic. You shouldn鈥檛 have to change the Video, but if you don鈥檛 get the Owl video (of the meeting room you鈥檙e in) return to this screen and check the Video settings.
Audio Sharing in Zoom
When sharing your screen (and showing a video with audio) click the Share Computer Sound box before clicking the Share Screen button. Otherwise, participants won鈥檛 hear the audio clearly.
Screen Sharing Tips With PowerPoint
Have your PowerPoint or other documents you will be sharing open before launching Zoom.
Share the screen with the PowerPoint before having the PowerPoint go into "Slide Show" mode.
Sometimes Zoom shares the Presenter's version with notes rather than the full-screen version. Ask your remote participants to confirm what they are seeing on their screen.
Monitor Zoom Chat
It is a good practice to have a second person in the meeting that monitors the Chat function of a Zoom meeting in case the remote participants can't hear or you can't hear the remote participants.
