[@samwangalakaumba2203]

i found your lesson on screen sharing so helpful and it will help me great deal.

[@demcnair]

This was really interesting - I hadn't heard about the beta feature to use the PPT as a virtual background. I use a green screen which eliminates the disappearing body parts so this beta option could potentially work for me. I'll have to give it a try. I also liked that you included some attendees - it's helpful to see your screen look like my screen looks. Thanks for this video.

[@JMLP14]

Thank you! Is there a way to have powerpoint and the whiteboard feature up side by side? ie so that I can solve problems that are presented on the powerpoint slide? thanks so much!

[@BenFinio]

Hmm - you can share multiple windows at once, but I'm not sure if you can share a window and the whiteboard simultaneously. However, why not just leave some blank space on the Powerpoint slides and do all the writing directly in Powerpoint? That way you have everything in a single document if you want to export the notes. (that is what I do for my lectures)

[@tonyajackson3120]

Can I share a live video and spotlight it and spotlight a person interpreting the video at the same time on zoom?

[@BenFinio]

Zoom has a multi-spotlight feature: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIusn2x3rbiFqLc but I forget how it works if you spotlight someone else while you are sharing your screen. You might have to suggest that participants go into "side by side" mode (click the view button in the upper right and select side by side). Then they will be able to see the shared screen and the spotlighted speaker roughly 50/50. If they are in default speaker view, they shared screen will be large and the thumbnail of the spotlighted speaker will be small.

[@rhjiv4]

Not everybody can keep up with your firehose-like delivery. When you got to the point where you were talking about swapping monitors, I was trying to follow you because I have encountered this problem. So you say, "Go up here..." but I got lost. I could not find the "HERE" you were referring to. And I still can't. I have looked in PPT and ZOOM but cannot find that setting. What makes it visible?

[@BenFinio]

FYI if you think a video is going too fast, you can adjust the playback speed using the settings button in the KZbin play bar at the bottom of the video to play it at 0.75x, 0.5x, or 0.25x speed. If you let me know the specific timestamp in the video you're referring to, I can check. This video is over a year old so there's a chance the Zoom interface has updated.

i have a Zoom presentation this week, how can I practice a dry run on Zoom? obviously I can't practice on the actual zoom invite, because I have never done this before and I can't tell the company I don't know how to present via Zoom. Any tips on how to practice on a zoom room? can you sent me a zoom invite just to practice? thank you

[@BenFinio]

Anyone can start a meeting using the free version of Zoom, you don't need someone else to send an invite. If you want to get a feel for what it's like with multiple people in the meeting, you can ask some family or friends to join or join from extra computers/phones if you have them available. That's how I make these videos.

[@BenFinio]

@@sookwilson5926 You need to create a free Zoom account, install Zoom, start a meeting, and then share your screen. You do not need anyone else in the meeting to practice that.

Hm, I haven't had that problem but the feature is still in beta so it might have problems.

Thanks for a great video. When I share screen in the regular way, participants see gray squares (where I have pictures of the participants). I tried to go through all the settings with a friend that does not have this problem and can share a screen without any interruptions to the participants and she can still see the participants when she shares screen. Do you have any idea what's the problem with my settings? the beta helps and also the option of- portion of screen but i must find ot what is wrong with my settings that only i have this problem between my friends (-: Thank you

I have a question regarding the PowerPoint in zoom After I shared the PowerPoint I was presenting and accepting the join request (Admit all) from the participants the PowerPoint was somehow freezing for half minute several times no respond when I want to move to the other slide that was extremely annoying This time I was the host But before I used to share PowerPoint slides with much more contents and it was working smoothly I don’t know what happened when I become the host Any suggestion I am kind of new to Zoom

[@BenFinio]

Hi Hana - I haven't heard of that problem, so unfortunately I'm not sure what to tell you. It could be anything from a poor internet connection to a Powerpoint file with lots of animations that might not play well while screen sharing.

[@miteveshotegloria403]

Can my students click on answers on my power point when I share questions with them?

[@BenFinio]

No, students can't click on your Powerpoint, but Zoom has a built-in polling option and there are third-party polling sites like PollEverywhere (I don't have videos on those unfortunately).

Hi - I don't think there is a built-in screenshot function in Zoom, but you would take a screenshot in Zoom the same way you would in any other program. I'm not a Mac person, but on Windows you can either hit the Print Screen button or use the Windows Snip tool.

I am having trouble advancing slides in Powerpoint on Zoom. I have Powerpoint for Mac, latest verson. When I click the arrows on my keyboard, all I get is that "thunk" noise and no advancing. I can use my mouse, but it is temperamental - advancing when I don't want it to do so just because I touch it, and refusing to go back. Any suggestion? Thanks!

[@BenFinio]

Hi Linda - to be clear, are you using the built-in sharing feature where you upload the PPT file to Zoom first, as shown towards the end of this video? Or are you doing regular screen sharing (shown at the beginning around 1:15)?

@@BenFinio regular screen sharing

[@BenFinio]

@@revlindaumc unfortunately I am not really a Mac person. What happens if you just try the Powerpoint presentation normally, without even having Zoom open? If it doesn't work there, then the problem might be with your keyboard or mouse as opposed to with Zoom.

THANK YOU for a helpful video. Is there a way to have 9 groups of 4 students each share their PPT, including audio, within a Zoom class?

[@BenFinio]

Hi - multiple people can share their screens at once, but each participant can only see one at a time (unless you have two monitors, then you can see two). See this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opiwZ5VmpaecoLs

[@ashours8041]

Hello Great please can I show animations that I make in powerpoint while I present it on Zoom

[@BenFinio]

Yes but note that the animations may appear choppy. When you share your screen there is an "optimize for shared video" checkbox (or something like that), I believe that will make it work better.

[@dailydiaries1245]

Best explaining with cutest meeting members

[@seb8396]

This is helpful, but let us take the case of a PowerPoint presentation on certain statistical techniques. Then the presenter wants to shift to a live use of SPSS to illustrate the use of the techniques. So, one could shift to a different window or maybe try to do this in the whole screen window. Unfortunately, in my experience, Zoom cannot handle the changing output file that appears on the screen in real time. So you might be able to open a data set in SPSS, run the first part of the analysis into an output file and then when you go onto the second part, the system drops or people can't see the change to the output file as further analysis is added.So, how does one show the live changes in stat output or simulation output in Zoom. Beyond a certain point, we are not dealing with fixed slides.

[@BenFinio]

Hi - I'm not familiar with SPSS at all, but I have heard that animations in Powerpoint do not work very well. I think this is an issue with Zoom's frame rate when screen sharing. There are two options I'm aware of. One, when you share your screen initially, there is a checkbox that says something like "optimize for shared video." You could try checking that box and see if it improves. Two, when you go in to Zoom options -> Share screen -> Advanced, there is a checkbox for "Limit your screen share to 10 frames per second." You can change the number of frames but I would make sure that box is NOT checked. There are some other advanced options there, I'm not 100% sure what they all do but you can read about them here: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360037870291-Advanced-desktop-client-settings

[@FF-mb1xx]

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, the new feature - presenting Microsoft PowerPoint during a Zoom meeting - is far from perfect and is very, very "beta". If one wants to present a PPT slideshow using various animation and transition effects (which are indispensable in order to achieve some pedagogic aims ), ZOOM neutralizes them all and just allows jumping for slide to slide. This makes the "innovation" absolutely useless. Th e ZOOM team needs to works hard to seamlessly integrate the PPT shows with all their features.

[@tomciccarella3817]

Thank you for sharing this. I've been having the same issue with animation.

[@nbuamemberservices1738]

It is so obvious and yet very few presenters enlarge and color their cursor You are whipping this little bitty cursor around and it's almost impossible to follow. There is a setting for that. When I'm presenting, my cursor is almost 1/4 inch and a yellow/mustard color. Very obvious. That would make your presentations easier to follow,
