With all the craziness in the world today, due to the Corona virus, a lot of people are
being forced to use zoom.
Now, whether that's for work or for fun, maybe just even jumping on a quick meeting.
A lot of people are wondering how to do it and we are going to run you through a very
quick zoom tutorial on how to use zoom for work or for fun.
Stay tuned.
Hi, my name is Mike Mancini, helping you market simplify or impact your business if you're
being forced to use zoom.
Zoom is a great video conferencing software.
It's very simple.
It's very, very quick.
And I'm going to run you through on how to use it.
Let's get started.
So zoom can be used as a stand alone app on your desktop, your PC, Mac, or you can use
it on your iPad or your phone.
I'm going to concentrate on the desktop version here.
So when people wonder what zoom is, you might see pictures like this where it's a picture
of maybe two, 10 20 people in a virtual meeting.
So to go to zoom, go to zoom.us.
So once it zoom, there are a number of different versions.
Now, if I'm going to host a lot of meetings, I'm probably going to want a paid version.
However, if I just want to do a get together with me and a few of my friends, I can actually
get by with a free plan.
Now the difference is I can do unlimited one on one meetings.
However, if I do more than one person, there is a 40 minute limit on meetings.
With that said, for most people, especially right now, the free version might end up working
if you're just using it to stay in touch or if you're having one on one meetings.
But if you want to host a meeting, all you have to do is click sign up and you'll literally
create a free account.
Once you've created that account, you can go into profile.
Okay, and you will see a meeting ID right here.
That is your meeting ID.
It is a personal ID just for your account.
All you literally have to do is paste that, send that in an email, send that into text,
send that out to other people.
Once they click on that, here's what happens.
Somebody gives me a link, I can go in and I'm going to see the screen.
So it says, if nothing prompts from browser, click here to launch a meeting or download
and run zoom.
Now if you've never downloaded it before, all you have to do is click download.
You can download it, save it to anywhere you'd like on your computer.
[inaudible] open it and run it.
Zoom client you're installing will shorten the time it takes to join a meeting.
It is a safe software.
There are millions of people that use this service.
Once it's done, this window should open and I can join with my computer audio or I can
test my speaker and microphone.
So if I click this right now it's just a blank meeting room.
There's nobody in here virtually all have to do.
Click on is start video and there we go.
It's using my webcam right on my computer.
Now, once I send that link out to other people, they not going to be able to join the meeting
until I'm in the meeting room because I'm the meeting host, so if they try to join it,
we'll just give them a message saying that the meeting host has not started it yet.
Please hold now once the meeting gets started, depending on how many people are in the meeting
room, it might end up looking like this.
If you're having some issues with people being able to hear you, all you need to do is go
down and click this up arrow.
Now up here you can see the different microphones.
You could just click on a different one and try that next.
If you can't hear anybody, select the right speaker combination down here.
You may only have a couple of them.
I have a number of them, but if I want to test them, all I have to do is click test
speaker and microphone.
Do I hear a ringtone?
No, I don't.
So I'm going to switch this ...and you can hear that ringtone.
So do I hear a ringtone?
Yes.
Now it's testing my microphone.
I don't hear a replay.
Hello... and there you go.
It works and there you go.
All right, so we hear a replay.
So speaker, microphone look good.
Now other people should be able to hear you.
Now if I want to share my screen, all I have to do is go down here and click share screen,
but I can select the screen I'm using and click on share.
Now, right here, the screen that's showing is what everybody else can see, so they can
see this right now and they can see me moving around.
When I need to stop sharing, I go up here to the top and I click on stop share.
When the meeting is over, I can go here and I can click on end demeaning or if you have
gotten a link from someone else, you can go down here and you can click on leave meeting.
There's also a chat room in here.
You can click on chat and I can start a group chat.
Now if maybe I just want to send it to one person, I can click this and it will show
everybody's name there and I can type a little message, little message.
Now everybody can see this as you can see from me to everyone, a little message.
So that is a very quick tutorial on how to use zoom.
I'm going to be releasing some others here very soon.
