I’m going to show you how to host a meeting in Zoom. Now, this is hosting a meeting immediately.
It's not a scheduled meeting. It's just: I'm ready to start the meeting right now. I'm going to show
you how to start the meeting as the host. And then how to invite others. So I have logged in. I have
an account with zoom.us They do have currently at the time of my recording in March 2020,
they do have a basic personal meeting one which allows you to have up to 100 participants. But
if you are one-on-one, which is the way that I hold most meetings, then there's no limit. But
as soon as you get a third person on, then it's a 40-minute limit you have to cancel the meeting and
start it again. These are Australian dollars. If you're not familiar with the amounts here. You can
check your own pricing. Let me go over and start the meeting. I'm going to go host a meeting. Now I
can host a meeting with video off which means it's not going to show me … I don't need that help. Oh,
it's not going to show me myself on video or host it with video on, which is what I'm going to do.
So I'm now starting the meeting and see that it just takes a few seconds depending on the
speed of your internet and different things. And there we are! Welcome to my meeting! So,
at the moment it's just me. Now if I wanted to invite somebody else to the meeting I would go
invite and I could just copy the URL. So the URL is just the meeting invitation itself. Just the
link. So the people will connect over the web browser, or we also could do copy invitation
which is a whole big invitation showing how to dial in on the phone as well if they want to
because people can dial in on the phone, just to be on voice for example if they can't do video.
That I want to do a video. They can just use their phone just to dial in on a call like that you can
turn off your own video. You can just go “Stop video” and then that will just show I'm still
talking but it shows just my background picture if I've got one there. Start the video again and
I can mute myself which is making myself silent. You're still hearing it because you're hearing
my recording of my video. You're not hearing me from the Zoom screen but in the Zoom call I can
see what other participants I have on my call. There's just me and I can also share a screen.
That's probably getting a bit advanced at the moment but I can share a screen and I can select
them as I show you and I can select one of these other screens that I have that I've got open. And
then I'll click Share and then the others can see that screen as well. And then, of course,
I can stop sharing as well, so the chat is just a way for me to contact either everybody in the
call or just to one person. I can send a little message: “Hi everyone. Let me know if you can
hear me.” Okay, so I'm sending that via text and then that would pop up in others’ screens and I
can record as well. And so I can choose to record. I'm going to record a little bit of my screen. I
can record it to the cloud or record it locally on my computer. So I'm just going to click “Record”
here. And you can see that little recording button is there and so: “Hi. This is a recording
for Zoom.” Just as part of the call is going to be recorded and then I can stop recording.
And once the Zoom meeting ends, then I will be able to see that file just exit the full
screen and I can go back into full screen as you can see. And then I can end the meeting and this
is what it's like. Just click “End meeting”. At this point I could just leave the meeting myself
or I could end the meeting for all because I am the host. Usually if you're a visitor,
if you're a guest in the meeting, if they haven't made you the host,
then you will just have the option to leave the meeting, end the meeting for all. And that's the
end of my call now. Notice this. My Zoom recording remember I did a little recording. There it is,
ready to be converted. And I just hit Save there. And then that will give me two files. One is the
audio only file, and the other one is the video file which I could play. And so that's a video
that I could upload to YouTube. But this audio I could just use as a podcast. So that's about
it. Any questions just shoot me a message. I'm Anthony English. Thank you for watching.
