I’m a teacher and find that I use Zoom a lot to present lectures. I generally use PowerPoint to organize my content, and it’s really frustrating that PowerPoint takes over the entire screen in Zoom. All my toolbars vanish! Is there a way to change that in Zoom or PowerPoint?
Prior to March 2020, most of the world probably associated the word “zoom” with a car commercial. However, as everyone shifted from daily interaction with 30-40 people to staying safely in their homes and moving their lives online, Zoom suddenly because ubiquitous. Students of all ages were not exempt from this transition either. Suddenly online was where it was at for everyone, regardless of age.
I noticed last time I was on a Zoom call with colleagues that I had a very casual profile picture while everyone else had very business like photos. I quit, fixed it, and re-joined, saying that the Internet had dropped. For the future, is there any way to change my profile picture while I’m actually on a Zoom call?
I occasionally end up hosting our team Zoom meeting and while it’s reasonably productive, I sometimes get colleagues complaining that they can’t share their screen. I never know what to do to fix it, so tend to quit the meeting, change settings, then restart it. Is there a better way that doesn’t involve quitting Zoom and restarting?
Somehow I don’t ever seem to get software updates for my Zoom client on my PC. Every so often there’s an email from IT at work saying it’s time to update. How can I get ahead of things and check for updates myself?
I’m a therapist and have become concerned that someone might hack into my Zoom account and use it to find out the identify of my clients. That would be a disaster! What’s the best way to secure my Zoom account to keep things confidential?
Hi Dave! My local history club wants to have Zoom meetings and somehow I’ve ended up being the meeting host. What’s the easiest way for me to send everyone a link so they can join the meeting at the proper time?
I don’t really know why, but when I connect to Zoom meetings or chats with my friends, the first part of my email address is shown instead of my name. As a result people don’t know who I am! Is there some way to fix that in a Zoom call?
