Why not take down this dated tutorial- the one you refer to above is great!?

[@beverlynelson6431]

After wading through a half-dozen or more Zoom tutorials for beginners, this one is the BEST! Most of these tutorials are explained too rapidly -- no chance to take notes or process what's on the page. The "teacher" from Creative Life Center speaks slowly, calmly, clearly. The younger "guides" want to be "with it" dynamic, cutesy, or super techie. They speed through the process -- not good for newcomers. Very few people are skilled teachers, but this lady definitely is!! And that's what counts here!

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind words! I recently updated this video to show Zoom control and safety changes. The updated version is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLcmoh3mKplg7c

[@Milobsb]

THE MOST COMPREHENSIBLE Zoom Tutorial I have ever seen!! Much better than the ones on the Zoom site. Perfect pace, clear and precise instructions. Excellent use of the screens. You made it as easy as it can be. Coming across the answers you gave to every post, it's amazing your ability to teach in just enough words, so peaceful and patient. Besides, you look great! Wish every tutorial on the internet had this clarity. We could get rid of millions of training videos and would need but one for each new app/gagget. Thank you soooo much!!

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

Thank you for doing this video, I enjoyed it and it was just the right way I needed to go through these zoom basics. I am the president of a smallish group of mostly women. We are a weavers' Guild, and have met monthly together to explore technique and have speakers at each meeting- in person,until the Stay home order of our state officials. I have been put incharge of setting up these once in-person meetings to go zoom. Being of a certain age, I have found that the tutorials Ive watched by the 20+ people, young people involved in podcasts and companies, have been confusing, and most talk way too fast on why you would want to click here of there, on your set up on your zoom screen. Im so glad I found YOUR video, it was straight forward and perfact for me to get a meeting going as the host. Thank you , its been perfect for the instruction I needed, and how it was presented. Thank you, again.

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

I'm glad you found your way here! I enjoy translating technology for people who are aren't big tech users. Have you seen my other Zoom tutorial videos? There are more for hosts - for example about security and breakout rooms. There are also videos to help your members feel comfortable joining a Zoom call from a computer or phone. :-)

These are so good I just have to comment. I have been asked to convene a zoom meeting of 12 participants and while I have been a participant before I have never hosted.

Thank you for this video on Hosting and the other one on Joining. I have been looking at a lot of the videos available and yours are by far the best for the average newcomer to Zoom. Clearly stated, properly paced, excellent use of the screens when on Zoom. I understand that you can do a Share Screen, but I am not clear on how you "upload" an image, power point, Word document or PDF to the Share Screen Page so you can click and share it with the participants. I will likely have questions once I understand that part, but I will just try to ask one question at a time. Many thanks

Thanks for your so clear and easy to understand instructions. I have a lot of practicing to do.

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

You can do it - once you work with it a little you'll be all set. :-) Have you seen this later video that shows the latest version of the Zoom controls? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJrKh2SOZcdrmdU

[@sandracumming440]

Excellent! Clearly organized for ease of understanding. I appreciated your thoroughness, tempo of diction helped tremendously because of my hearing impairment. I'll recommend your video to friends.

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

Thank you! :-)

[@kathicase6023]

So thankful for your video. Am I able to set up a meeting for someone else to host (i.e., my boss)? If so, I'm assuming I would have to set it up on his computer, or have him schedule it. Is this correct? Thanks again!

[@ChadlyCreativeConsulting]

Here are two ways to do that. A) There is one Zoom account that you sign into to schedule the meeting and then your boss signs in to start the meeting. B) You each have Zoom accounts. You schedule the meeting in yours and set your boss up as an alternative host in the Advanced Options settings. Then your boss starts the meeting from her/his account.

[@carolbracey2079]

Very clear explanations. Thank you.
