Hey guys and welcome back to my channel.
Looking for a complete beginners guide to Zoom online meetings?
In this Zoom tutorial, I'm going to be sharing with you how to join Zoom and how to schedule
a meeting in Zoom.
Zoom is a free video conferencing software for online video meetings that have up to
100 participants and up to 40 minutes of duration, but you can purchase one of its paid plans
instead if you wish to host a meeting tutorial that has more participants or is longer in
length.
If you've been wondering how to setup a meeting in Zoom, stay tuned until the end of this
video to learn how to use Zoom to schedule and join a Zoom meeting, and to get my Webinar
Sales Funnel Template that'll help you boost your webinar sign up rate, increase the number
of people who show up live, and skyrocket your sales.
Also, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell to be notified every time I post a new video.
With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.
To join Zoom, head over to zoom.us, and click on the blue button on the top, right-hand
corner that says 'sign up, it's free'.
As I mentioned, Zoom is free for online video meetings that have up to 100 participants
and last up to 40 minutes, but you can purchase one of its paid plans instead if you wish
to host a meeting tutorial that has more participants or is longer in length.
Add your work email address in the space provided, and then click on 'sign up', or if you prefer,
you can sign in with Google or with Facebook.
After you've created a Zoom account, you can use Zoom to set up a meeting.
If you wish to host a meeting right this second, hover your mouse over where it says 'host
a meeting' in the top, right-hand corner, and select whether you wish to host a meeting
with video on, with video off, or whether your video conference will be a screen share
only.
To schedule a meeting for later, click on 'my account' on the top, right-hand corner,
then on 'meetings' from the left-hand side panel, and lastly on the blue button that
says 'schedule a new meeting' under the 'upcoming meetings' tab.
Name your meeting, add a description, select a time and duration, again, on the free Zoom
plan, you can have video conferences with up to 100 participants and that take no longer
than 40 minutes, select the time zone and whether this is a recurring meeting or not,
toggle whether Zoom should generate a meeting ID automatically or use your personal meeting
ID, select whether the meeting should require a password or not, toggle the video options
for both the host and participants, select whether participants can tune in to the Zoom
meeting's audio via telephone, computer audio or both, and select the meeting options you
wish, including enable join before host, mute participants upon entry, enable waiting room
and record the meeting automatically on the local computer.
This last option is great to choose if you're using Zoom to host a webinar.
Once you're done editing your Zoom meeting settings, click on 'save'.
To invite participants to this Zoom meeting, click on 'copy the invitation' next to where
it says join URL, and send that to your guests.
The invitation includes the virtual meeting's topic, time, Zoom meeting URL, meeting ID
and password.
On the day and time of the virtual conference, if you're the meeting's host, click on 'my
account' on the top, right-hand corner, then on 'meetings' from the left-hand side panel,
and then under the 'upcoming meetings' tab, click on 'start' next to your scheduled meeting.
Click on 'join with computer audio', and since we selected the 'video on for host' under
the meeting settings, you can see me from the get-go.
You'll also notice that this meeting is currently being recorded.
If you're a participant in the virtual conference instead, on the day and time of the meeting,
either click on the Zoom meeting URL that was sent in the invite, or open up the Zoom
app on your computer, and click on 'join a meeting'.
Enter the meeting ID in the space provided as well as your name, and select whether you
wish your audio to be muted, and your video not to appear, and then click on 'join'.
Since we asked for a password to join this meeting, add the password in the space provided,
and then click on 'join' once more, and now all you need to do is wait for the host to
start this meeting.
Now you know how to use Zoom to schedule and join a Zoom meeting.
