Configuring zoom

Before we begin, we should configure the Settings or Zoom, a tiny wheel in the right of the screen.
Here it is!

General settings, first. Then Recording, Chat, and so on. Here is as I begun looking at GENERAL.

This is where I allow Side-by-Side, for example, one of the relatively new but great features.

Many features has to be allowed through the Allow Advanced Features first. So many advanced there!

Go for eat, discover all the great advanced features, many we want, need - but not all.

The most important here, is in my opinion the FILE Transfer, through CHAT, during meeting. Can upload and download Fillable Feedback for Pathways Projects, but other things too.

Can we name or not Co-hosts.

Pool or not (I do not use this)

Show meeting control bar (always) - well perhaps unless we have 400

Allow Screen sharing : that is important for me, that the participants could share their screens,  during the testings, before they speak, during their interventions, or even after the meetings as we chat.

The host, can always share and thus close if needed a participants share.

All participants should at some time learn, how to share a screen, a presentation or even a video, that should already be open on their computer in advance. Of that more, at a later time, with more details. But do not share "all your mess, desktop" only one application opened.

Of course, do allow yourself, and others, to use Virtual background. An image projected on what is called Green Screen. If possible, a green tissue, put on the wall behind you with less possible wrinkles and well illuminated. Possible, 45 degree.



I did not use or allow breakout rooms, till I did not experienced it and learned its utility. Then, I come back to the setting, and added it to the features. Still have to learn to use it, not only be in it.

Recordings, there are many options there too, here are only a few of them to consider.
