1:00 What happens if you check the box "Always use PMI for instant meetings on this computer"

1:32 Scheduling a meeting
TIP: I actually prefer to schedule a new Recurring Meeting. see 4:10, even if it's a one-time meeting, because I've noticed that for some reason. people can be confused by the meeting time. Recurring Meetings don't have a label for the date/time of the meeting.

1:45 Video (when joining a meeting) -- on or off?

2:20 Audio Options: I prefer "Both" instead of "telephone only" or "VoIP Only"

2:26 Why I don't require meeting password, and when to

2:56 "Enable join before host" -- check this box if participants already know each other

and whether to "Allow participants to unmute themselves"

8:52 How to stop someone's video

I forgot to mention -- it's helpful to "Lock Meeting" if you frequently promote a particular Zoom link. Click Manage Participants, then More, then Lock Meeting.

9:45 How to record a zoom meeting

10:13 Gallery vs. Speaker Views

11:25 Moving the zoom window around, so you can look like you're looking at the camera

12:51 How to mute yourself or stop your video

13:19 Changing the zoom audio or video settings, including mirror effect, "touch up my appearance", enable HD, etc.

15:05 the chat room features

15:23 How to change how your name shows up on zoom with "Rename"

15:45 How to chat privately with another participant

18:35 How to share the screen of your iPhone / iPad / Android device

19:36 How to stop your screen share

21:10 When screen sharing, how to move your little video around to not cover what you are seeing.

21:30 How to see the Chat box when you're in screen-sharing mode

22:50 How to enable breakout groups in Zoom

23:25 How to share screen WITH sound so you can play a video for your participants and watch together.

25:48 How to do Breakout Rooms in Zoom.

26:10 You can rename breakout rooms, or move people from one room to another

26:27 Before starting the breakout room, unmute all so they don't have to remember to do that themselves, and also recommend an order of speaking, e.g. alphabetical by first name

27:58 How to join a breakout room (as an admin)

28:47 You can't hear what Leslie is saying because I didn't record this video with allowing the computer sound to be heard, sorry :) She was saying she'll test the chat once I leave the room, to see if it comes through to the main chat. (It doesn't.)

29:08 Re-size the zoom video windows by clicking & dragging either bottom corner

29:35 How to Broadcast a Message (an announcement text) to everyone in the breakout rooms

30:40 Tip: After breakout room, be sure to spotlight your own video again, so people know they're back in the main room.

There's "Leave meeting" (which means keeping the room open) and "End meeting" which means closing the room.... so that you can open another room and allow people to enter. With the kind of zoom account most of us have, we can only have 1 room open at a time... so whatever room you aren't using, don't just close the window (which equals "Leave meeting") but do click End Meeting.
