Zoom Tutorial for PC and MAC

With the spread of the coronavirus, it is becoming increasingly important to hold meetings online. Only a few short months ago, businesspeople favored in-person meetings with clients; today, however, many are turning to online solutions in order to keep in touch despite widespread curfews. Conversely, many educational facilities have begun utilizing video conferencing apps to facilitate remote communication with their students. One of the most well-known video conferencing tools is Zoom. The ability to run on multiple platforms is a big factor in its success. Zoom, on the other hand, has features like Web-based meeting access and the capacity to share one's screen with as many as one hundred other people. All of these features set it apart as a viable alternative to competitors like Google Hangouts Meet and Microsoft Teams.

Zoom can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. Zoom meetings also allow attendees to communicate with meeting organizers via an online portal. In addition, a meeting hosted in the Zoom app can have up to 100 attendees, and with the Large Meeting upgrade, that number can rise to 500 people. However, in recent years, some privacy concerns have been raised, which has impacted the worldwide success of the Zoom app. However, the development team has claimed that it is now giving its undivided attention to improving users' privacy. This has the potential to make Zoom an even more powerful tool for online conferences.

Still, you may be wondering where to begin with Zoom. Here, then, is a comprehensive manual for setting up and operating the Zoom desktop application. We've included instructions for both Windows and Mac computers to save you time. Before beginning our tutorial, you can also get the most recent version of the Zoom client for your desktop by visiting the official site.

It's possible to join a Zoom meeting without installing the software on your computer by using a browser. To join the meeting, simply open the link provided in your browser, and you will be taken to a page where a Join from your browser link is displayed. After that, a screen will appear asking for your name so that you can officially join the meeting. However, not all meetings offer the Join from your browser link; it is provided by the host.

These are the steps you need to take in order to join a Zoom meeting if you have a Zoom account. To unlock additional features, sign in.

You'll be prompted to enter the Meeting ID or Personal Link Name into a pop-up window. Your name can also be displayed on the screen for the meeting's organizer and other attendees to see. In addition, there are checkboxes to disable the video and audio.
At this time, the app will link you up with the conference call.
