[@MintaCreativeArts]

Great and to the point video David also thank you for putting the details and timeline in the description box. I hope you don't mind me saying but the only distraction was the terrible music in the background, maybe have it really low in the mix or not at all. Thank you again.

[@jacobozafrani7125]

Great explanation! I will help the nurse of my 85 years old mother to be able to install and join a meeting. This will allow her to have a zoom meeting with her neurologist. I mention it because wanted you to know that you are making it posible, with your clear expalnation. Blessings to you :)

[@DavidWalshOnline]

I’m sooo glad this can help you @Jacobo. Anything that can help you and your family is truly a blessing 😃

[@vzd963]

Hi - what you're saying is really useful, but trying to concentrate while also listening to pointless American Wrestlemania-style rock music at the same time is extremely hard work!

[@mariamartinez1786]

I finally found someone to explain to me the basics of ZOOM. Thank you very much. Good night.

[@RDYS]

Thanks, got a call for a meeting and had never used Zoom. Had about an hour to get ready. Dug out an old mic and camera, watched this video and Boom ! Ready to go. Thanks a heap. Have subscribed.

[@bettyg7598]

That was so very helpful. Thank you so much. You gave all of the information needed without the unnecessary fluff. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Cliping3]

I just want to say, your presentation was excellent! Thank you

[@forwardfoodtech7041]

Good tutorial. The music was very distracting though...something more relaxing will be better next time.

[@skorpyo331]

Music is perfect.

[@jessiebeck8891]

Thanks for the video. I can now be in zoom meetings for fun and stuff. And in case I get bored from being alone.

[@historyrepeating]

Thanks so much! About to have my first zoom meeting so this helped 👍🏼

[@brianh7403]

Good information and the sound and video were fine on my pc. Thank you from a newbie. :)

[@eCabinetstipsandtricks]

Thanks, David, I have had zoom for a few months and have used it a few times for consultations. I really like it and plan to use it more in the future., However, I do have a question. Do you know of a way for others that may be following along with you while you are sharing your screen to view and work in their app while watching you do the demo in the screen share?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Hey there, thanks for the question. Yes, there is a way to do it. It's coming in one of the follow up videos, as it happens... 👍

[@jjsmnow]

Great video. I can slow the video down in settings but why cant you go slower ? Also you do not need any music. Why do you even put it on? It takes away from the video production quality.

[@pucky8967]

Well done David. As a cocooner I had no problem following you. Clear and concise. Séamus

[@lindabrubaker6473]

A an older adult and trying to learn something new, the volume of the music is way too high. It over rides some of the verbal instruction. Please tone it down. I will need to watch this several times unless I can find a video that goes at a slower pace. Between trying to absorb a new technique and the music, I feel tense!

[@pravoslavn]

"Older" applies here, too. (1) You can regulate the playback speed. Click the little "gear" icon on the "bar" at the lower right portion of the screen. That is your settings, and you can regulate playback speed. (2) Pause the video occasionally to take notes or get your breath. I do that all the time. (3) Another thing I do is fast-forward over the first 30 seconds of most KZbin videos, because most people pack the first seconds full of louds, objectionable music and meaningless graphic's.

[@jl1876]

there is a button called volume on each pc, you can try that lol

[@willyspinney1959]

@@jl1876 Brilliant Hey Einstein, "the volume of the music is way too high. It over rides some of the verbal instructions" So how will turning the volume down help?

Thank you very much @ Julie B. Hope all is good down under 😎

[@TheDelaveaus]

quick question, after you have saved your recording and log out of zoom where do you go to find back what you have recorded, amazing help you are to me thank you.

[@DavidWalshOnline]

If you have saved to Zoom website, it’ll send you a link to the recording. If saved to your computer, once the video is rendered, the folder will pop up with the video in it

[@donnafitzpatrick5764]

thank you! Once you start meeting, does it automatically tell you who is in waiting room and is it easy to let them in?

[@Logansrunn1701]

Great video on Zoom, thanks. I fail to understand why KZbinrs have to nearly drown their videos out with loud music. Needs to be toned down. Just says.

[@ajitchauhan8198]

Hi David, is there a way to isolate a participants box to screen capture? I'd like to document each students work--not the entire class at once b/c everyone and their work is too small. Is there a way to highlight one attendee without having to ask them to speak in speaker view? thanks

[@DavidWalshOnline]

You can pin an attendee and their screen will show in the main area 👍

[@steeplecab]

David - Everything seems to be set up okay, and the audio all works okay. My problem is the display of myself gives a black screen. If I change screen size or otherwise change the display, I can momentarily see my image and then it goes to a black screen again. What is causing this? Do I have something set wrong on my laptop?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Sounds like there’s an issue with the camera somewhere. Do you have multiple cameras?

[@abdurrahmanhamza4461]

Hi, I am a student using Zoom because of the COVID-19 situation. I sometimes forget what time a meeting starts. Is there a way to schedule a meeting that someone else is hosting?

[@mzimasprings3217]

David, interesting what you explain eg sign in open account join meeting AFTER downloading Zoom, but at 2:35 AFTER already having downloaded you get the question "if you havent download click here" HOw did you get to thhat position if yoy havent already downloaded!?

[@wendy444]

Hi David!! On my computer ~ How do I work on my material the teacher is showing me, while also watching the zoom screen?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

You have to put them side by side on 1 screen or have 2 monitors. 1 with Zoom and the other with your work. Which one works best for you? 😃

[@usewisdom2]

[@livingintheforest3963]

This is great but the music was very distracting it would be better quiet demonstration but that’s just my opinion thank you

[@loisporterfield8995]

what equipment do you need besides a computer, like a Webcam and microphone; and what ones do you recommend on the inexpensive side? thanks!

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Hi Lois, I’ve got a few videos on those topics. Check them out and see/hear for yourself 😃

[@floferguson4975]

I think everything you described figured out. Have held a few meetings, but we are (I am) having trouble with the way we appear in the meetings. We can't seem to see all of us at the same time! Is there something I need to do as host so that we are all "there" - we can all see each other? Thanks. Your presentation was great.

[@rayhitchcock4899]

Thank you, a very good introduction from my perspective. I am interested in recording music with friends and intend to investigate that aspect. Tell me, how do you quickly zoom in and out when you are explaining drop down menus?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

Hi Ray, Glad you liked the video. I use a software called ScreenFlow on Mac that does this. If you’re on Windows you can use Camtasia. This allows you to record your screen and zoom in and out to highlight specific areas, just like I’ve done 😃

[@style-and-you5534]

David you mentioned in your video there is a link in description about how to teach classes and get Zoom free . However i cant see any link below.

[@sharonm.greenleaf6060]

I'm new to zoom. I learn by seeing, I do have cc on but the screen looks like I have sunglasses on in a room. If Ur video were not so dim I could see what your showing as you are speaking. I will be watching your video repeatedly untill I get the details. I do like all the information you are sharing with 😊 us. Thank You! Sharon from Portland,Me

[@jwpettit]

I am running version 5.2.1. About 1minute 50 seconds into the video it shows a link "Go to My Account". I never see this screen at all. When I start Zoom it goes straight to a screen that shows 4 short cuts - New Meeting, Join, Schedule, Share Screen. That was confusing but as I continued watching the video I saw the same screen later in the video so it still made it possible to figure things out but was still wondering how to get to the"Account Screen". Overall, I thought the video was very good. Thanks

[@toluojaomo5953]

I didn't get to see the zoom website in the description below. It will be fine if you say it Thanks

[@johnhiggins7865]

Great video, but clicked on the link to get Zoom and the page could not be reached. Perhaps the link has become obsolete? I just want to click on a safe link and not randomly select one from the internet, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there . Thanks for the great introduction. I am a total ZOOM beginner who wants to organise a ZOOM chat with 2 other friends next week . But I'm still confused about when you would choose SCHEDULE OR HOST a meeting or are they both the same thing? Should I use SCHEDULE A MEETING to organise it ahead of the date and HOST A MEETING if it is for now? Not sure ! Can you please explain the difference?

[@sadiearrindell3395]

is there a way I would know what the meeting ID/ personal link name is 4 the zoom conference (4 an online event) when its on a different day?

Hi David! This was very helpful! I am trying to set up a meeting with two other people to Zoom together, but not have myself present. Can you tell if this is possible and how to go about it if so?

[@DavidWalshOnline]

If one of the others is presenting, then let them present. They will have Share Screen options. You can also set them as Admins so they can see questions just like you. Mostly, normal settings will work fine for you.

Having issue with bluetooth headphones (using for meetings at home that need to be confidential or just to not disturb family in other rooms)...when i share a video (share sound and optimized for video all turned on), everyone else can hear the video but I cannot hear the video thru my bluetooth headphones. If i am not using the headphones and sound is directly thru my computer speaker, i can hear the video. Is there a workaround setting to make the sound work for a shared video thru my bluetooth headphones?
