Dusty, You Da Man! I'm a Expert Zoom User and Trainer. As one trainer to another, this is hands down the best TH-cam Basic Tutorial on Zoom I've ever come across. In fact, I just finished a one on one training 90 minute training session tonight. I provided my student with a link to your video as refresher/reference because I took him down the rabbit hole pretty far and covered everything from basics to advanced. Thank you for your time and effort in providing this much needed tool.
One of the best training videos I've seen. And I am very picky. Not talking too much, great pace, only whats relevant, dynamic, great voice! definitely saving this to my list. Thank you!
I watched a few Zoom videos as well as a several Google Meet videos trying to make up my mind as to which would be most suitable for the high school classes I teach. The thoroughness of this video was as if you created it based on questions you knew I'd have. Areas which other videos didn't explore or failed to elaborate on adequately were covered nicely here. I feel so much more comfortable with Zoom now that I've seen this video. On behalf of the many teachers who are seeking immediate professional development on using these video conferencing platforms to facilitate online instruction, thank you... thank you... thank you!
This makes me feel awesome. Thank you so much for the kind words. My wife is a third grade teacher and I know a little of what you guys are going through.
We are all new to zoom and you will always get a wide spread of responses from a big audience but its a very good introduction. Knowing in advance that users could slow down the playback speed, if they are not a young, fluent, American speaker, would be a distinct advantage. Good job, well done Dusty!
I think Dusty's speed of delivery is just right (contrary to some opinions below). If he slowed it up, it would become annoying or boring. Like saying 'pardon when asking people to repeat something, you can skip back, and you only have to do it once!
EXCELLENT VIDEO I'm pastor and since the coronavirus has hit we can have more than 3 people meeting. I'm looking at using Zoom to record my weekly sermon and then post to allow members of my three churches to view at their leisure. Thanks again for a GREAT video.
Pastor, unless you need the share screen function, you may want to consider setting up a TH-cam Channel, recording your sermon off line and then upload it to your TH-cam Channel. The reason is, Zoom does not afford one the flexibility to edit in a true post production environment. Post production will allow you to turn out a much better product.
@@johnlasser16 Left Click on the "Settings button on the video"(the gear icon). Click "Playback Speed". The default is "Normal" Click on the "Normal" link and choose .5 or .75 which will slow the playback of the video by 1/2 to 3/4 the speed of normal.
I'm new to Zoom and will be doing it for my classes now that schools are closed. The place where maybe you went a little too fast was I'm not understanding how I send this to my students? I get the copy the URL but I'm not sure how to get to the "pages" to where that URL site was copied to? Our students all have a Canvas page and I plan on placing the URL site within the announcement section. Thank you so much for this video, you really helped ease my stress level since teachers have to learn this within our spring break time to be ready to teach next Monday!
I am a teacher - please consider showing teachers how to use our digital textbooks and youtube clips on zoom. Especially how do have my youtube clip ready for use during the zoom lesson? Well done!
Thanks, boss for the educational video, We just got the word last week that we are shifting from the physical classroom to the virtual one. Great video thanks again Semper FI.
thanks for that, will help me get started and allow me to earn a little money at home... Don't worry about it being long, you can slow down a little.... i had to keep pausing - to get down all my notes... but brilliant. Barbs
Thank you for posting this video. I am new to zoom and don't know anything about it, but because the covid19 crisis and the nature of my business, I'm being forced to run tutorials online. One quick question to you or your audience, is it possible to keep ourselves showing on-screen while we host a meeting? For teaching purposes it is very important for instructors to know how they look on screen, so we know what our students see. Thanks again. Great job.
Thanks for the great intro video. I've never had an interest or need for such things, but I am a volunteer ESL teacher and the PA county where I live is now on lockdown, so I have to address my lack of technical skills. I appreciate the time and effort it took to prepare your presetation.
Hi Thank you for a nice clear run through for Zoom. We are Country Roots Line Dance Club, never used Zoom before so this will be a leap in the dark, and your video has help shine some light on it.
Love your audio quality in this video. What microphone are you using? Is it a complicated set up? Can you make recommendations on rich audio in a headset?
This was passed on by a colleague as one of the simplest Zoom tutorials. I'll be sharing this on fb, of which there are 100's of fellow teachers, thanks Dusty!
Good presentation. Not every presentation needs to be perfect. I also would like to know how good a meeting can be if the host is on a phone or iPad. I noticed right away for example that the ‘audio settings’ you were referring to did not exist on my iPad Zoom app. If all you have is an iPad or Phone can you still host a small meeting or will I be too echoey without a headset?
Excellent video - very clear and great quality. Do you have a video on how to have your viewers watch you as a spotlight video, but as a host you can see everyone as a gallery? I am doing something wrong and I don't know what it is...
Right on the mark. You have helped an insecure 72-year-old join the world. I will be presenting soon. Only question, how to give myself a better backdrop. My computer may not be up to it. Thanks!
If you need equipment to Zoom I noticed Dusty has some links which will help support his efforts in the description. If you need something you may as well support him for doing this video. Fellow TH-camr Rick
Thank you very much Dusty. Great video. 3 questions please. 1. Can we add people who have been invited as we are in the meeting? so like if I click on their name id while we are in the meeting, is there an option that says add to contact? (i tried but could not find the option) 2. When i tried to schedule a meeting it only gave me the option of choosing duration of 30 minutes or 45 minutes for free....or should i just leave it empty in order to get the 40 minute free time? 3. can i invite participants immediately through my contact by allowing them in without sending any invitation? Thank you in advance.
Thank you. Good tutorial. For viewers' information, I have Cloudready Chrome as my O/S on an older MacBook and when I tried to use Zoom using that PC I got a screen message to say it was not supported.
My school will be starting to use Zoom tomorrow. My co-teacher and I would like to cohost a meeting, but are having trouble figuring this out. (We will both be teaching .) Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Step #1: If you are the "Host" launch Zoom. Step #2: Everyone logging on after you should click "Join" to enter the meeting. Step #3: To add your associate as a "Co-Host" simply click on the "Manage Participants" in the Taskbar. A list of the participants will pop up on the right side of the screen. Step #4: Find your associate's name and hover your mouse over their name. Step #5: A "More" button will show the right of their name. Step #6: Click the dropdown menu and you will see an option to make that person a "Co-host". That's it!

Thank you very much. I learned a lot being a beginner. It is a little fast paced ; will have to view again
Well done, like the talk-through and show-through, good pace, good energy. Thank you.

thaanks . It was fast but followable. Love the picture on your mobile
Thanks, Dusty. This was a helpful intro to Zoom. Gave all the necessary info without a lot of fluff!
Slow down when talking, I understand there is a lot to cover, however a slower pace would be better.
Change the playback speed in the right hand corner of the video. Click the gear, anything less than 1 is slower. Keyboard shortcuts SHIFT +
You need to make more Zoom videos man. It is very important for our society.
I like that you go over every detail. But I listen slower than you speak. LOL So I saved the video . Good job.
This is by far the BEST comprehensible ZOOM video!
I agree 100%. Please share it with others.

Great info. Looking forward to a Zoom-hosted 'cocktail' party with my sister-in-law and nieces who are all over the country in lockdown.
The uses for these type of meet ups are unlimited (e.g., book clubs, product demonstrations, storytelling for kids, etc.)

Informative and clear. Only problem is I don't know how to activate the video camera on my computer. So, for now, everyone will just see a picture.
Evelyn, to to your settings (the gear wheel) and look for "Video". All of the settings are there to test your camera and your microphone.
Excellent work, my friend.
Thank you Dusty, that was so clear and easy to understand
