Steps to select and use various features of Zoom
- After its successful launch, it will want you to select an option what you want to do as shown in the image below. Select an option to get into the unique room provided by zoom. For example, I chose Whiteboard to show you exactly how it works.
- Whiteboard contains several tools that help you to teach like a school teacher. These tools include – Select, Text, Draw, Spotlight, Eraser, Format, Undo, Redo, Clear and Save. For example, I wrote “Hello, Tutorial from Classytec” in the image below by selecting “text” option.
- However, I have not invited anyone right now. Let’s invite participants to join the online meeting.
- You can invite your friends by following several ways. The simplest one is by clicking on more option and then clicking on the invite to invite via mail or other options. The other option is to copy paste the link of your room and invite your participants. As I told earlier, the participant doesn’t require to sign up via zoom and just click on the invitation link and enter into the meeting room.
- Once you invited your friends, chat with them, start audio, and video by clicking on buttons on the top as shown in the above image. For example, I started a chat by clicking on more and chat.
- The screen you can see on your desktop, that will be seen by them. So, easily share your word files, presentations, and anything you want them to see. For example, I opened word file and let my participants see this file as shown in the image below.
- Anytime, you can discontinue sharing screen online by clicking on “Stop Share”.
Team Viewer
Team Viewer is another excellent online software that lets you connect with your participants. Moreover, if you want to access the participant’s computer as if it is yours, then this is the best web app for you. This application lets you remotely access the computer of your colleagues and you can explain them easily. Thus, everything is under your control. Moreover, easily share your computer with your team and let them work on a particular presentation or project. Also, hold up meetings like Zoom and share screen online with others easily.
- First, you need to Sign up and ask your team to signup Team Viewer before you can actually go ahead with this.
- Now, you both will receive a particular unique ID by team viewer. Then, enter your team member ID in order to access his computer. You can also easily access his computer through Team viewer app that’s easily available on play store. I installed its Android app to easily explain to you how it works.
- You can also use it for file transfer and VPN connections by selecting any one. I selected remote control and now I can completely access my partner’s ID.
- You can also hold up a meeting with your partner and it is very similar with the Zoom meetings as I already explained you above. So, I am leaving this part to you and I hope you will not find any problem while holding a meeting with your clients.
