Zoom - Quick Reference Guide

Pdf Summary

This Quick Reference Guide explains how to use Zoom for joining, hosting, and managing meetings, along with key etiquette tips.<br /><br />It starts with setup: download the Zoom client from zoom.us (Resources > Download Zoom Client), then sign in with your email and password. To join a meeting, you can either click a meeting link (allow Zoom to open, wait to be admitted, then join with computer audio) or use a meeting ID and password through the Join button, choosing whether to connect with video.<br /><br />The guide outlines the main meeting controls on the Zoom toolbar: mute/unmute (including holding the spacebar to temporarily unmute), start/stop video and select device/background settings, and security options such as locking the meeting, enabling a waiting room, and controlling participant permissions. It also covers managing participants (viewing attendees, muting individuals or everyone, inviting/removing people), using chat for group or direct messages and file sharing, screen sharing (entire screen, a window, whiteboard, or a portion of the screen), recording meetings (to cloud or computer depending on account), and using reactions like raise hand or applause.<br /><br />Best practices include joining from a quiet space, checking your camera background, muting when not speaking, using headphones to prevent echo, testing audio/video beforehand, and preferring wired connections (ethernet and wired headsets) for reliability.<br /><br />For hosts, it explains how to start a meeting from the app or website, view meeting info, admit guests, and end the meeting for all. Scheduling steps are provided for both the app and website, plus how to start, edit, or delete scheduled meetings. Additional host controls include putting guests in the waiting room, removing them, locking the meeting, and assigning a new host.<br /><br />Finally, it details whiteboard/annotation tools (draw, text, stamp, spotlight, erase, undo/redo, clear, save) and how to pause, annotate, and stop screen sharing.
