My boss wants us to migrate from Zoom and WebX to the new Google Meet video conferencing service. She’s a big fan of Google and now I have to figure out how to get things up and running. Can you step me through the basics for a large screen iMac? Thanks.
I believe there’s a way that I can share my iPhone screen and the app I’ve been writing with colleagues on a Zoom video conference or meeting. But I’m not sure how. Can you step me through the process, please? I have the latest versions of iOS, MacOS X and Zoom.
I was on a Zoom call with my Mom the other day and really wanted to show her how to do something in Microsoft Word. I wanted to share my iMac screen, but only have her see that app’s window. How do I share an app window rather than my full screen in Zoom?
I’m running Zoom for virtual classes at school and meetings at work. Not only that, but my family likes Zoom Happy Hour now too. But I hear that there are all sorts of security problems with Zoom. How can I at least ensure that I’m running the latest and most secure version on my Mac?
I have Skype on a pretty powerful Mac system and after seeing people have fun on Zoom calls with their backdrops and fake backgrounds, I’m wondering: Can I do the same thing on Skype?
Hello. I’m teaching an online meditation class through Zoom and after reading about some of it security issues am now worried that random hackers are going to join our meditation sessions! Is there a way to set a password so that I can share that with authorized attendees to prevent random people showing up?
I’m spending a lot more time on video calls, mostly through Zoom and Skype. Some people look really professional on these calls, but I always look like I’m in a dark basement! How can I look better in video chat?
I’m suddenly finding myself in a lot of Zoom meetings and it’s embarrassing that everyone can see what a messy house I have. On my last call I noticed someone was at the beach! I’m sure it’s a fake background; how can I use virtual backgrounds on my Zoom calls too?
