Lesson 2: Creating Online Meetings (M5-U3-L2)

Anna’s friend lives in a different country, and that is why they cannot meet. They only write to and call each other, but have not seen each other in years. As Anna already knows different communication tools, she decided to use one of the most popular ones to meet her friend face-to-face.

Starting your adventure with Zoom is the same as starting it with any other website or software – you have to log in with your email, and it is also best to download the Zoom app. If you have done it, then you can start participating in the meetings.

Zoom gives you three options for starting the meeting:

1. You can start a new meeting immediately
2. You can join a meeting started by someone else
3. You can set a specific date and time for the meeting

 See the presentation below to learn how to start the meeting in each of these ways.

When participating in a Zoom meeting, you have options to do multiple actions. Some of them are available to you only if you have started the meeting, so if you are the admin/administrator.

Thanks to the next activity, you can discover the most useful actions on Zoom meetings. The same signs that you can find there are also in this communicator. We hope that it will help you feel more confident when using Zoom on your own.

You already know what options you have as a participant and administrator of a meeting. In the previous activity, you could notice this symbol:

After clicking it, you can see additional tools that allow you, among other things, to record the meeting or add subtitles (which can be helpful when someone has trouble hearing or the connection quality is not good enough).

You probably noticed that symbols suggest the actions, and the same happens here.

Try to guess what you can do thanks to the following symbols from the “more tools” option.
