    I just wanted to say that over the past two years of using zoom to keep in touch with my large family, just remember to swipe the screen in order to see everyone. You can also upload pictures to use as a background screen if you forget to tidy up the house! Love it! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for your easy, step by step guide. I'm a Zoom newbie, not sure what I am doing, which was really heightening my anxiety prior to a Zoom job interview. After watching this, I think that I will be confident enough to get through. Appreciate the way you showed exactly what to do too, especially as im a visual learner so this made things clearer for me.

Your presentation in this case was exemplary as you didn't take things simple to you, perhaps, for granted for the rest us. Your manner is relaxed and I follow it confidently. I look forward to following you. Best wishes and thank you. British Columbia, Canada

    I watched all the so-called "professional" tech channels, that's not to say that you are not professional, and, you broke this down much, much, better, and understandably than all the others I've watched. I'm very new to ZOOM and although I've joined one or two meetings in the past with questionable success, I really needed to understand exactly how the process worked in order to avoid holding everyone up while I try to "press the right buttons". You made it so simple and straightforward. You even included the "test link" which none of the others did. Now instead of being super nervous, I'm actually looking forward to the meeting. Thank you. I subscribed and looking through your library of videos, I'm glad I did.
