All my friends work at companies where they use Zoom, but my firm prefers Google Meetings. Is there a way in Google Meet where I can still share a program or app screen as I demonstrate something? I’m using it on my Mac system, but most of my audience are on PCs…
Still holding meetings, family gatherings and happy hour via the now-ubiquitous Zoom program? Here are some key settings to check so you look and sound your best on every meeting, from class lectures to virtual dating…
My school district is useless with tech but I want to be able to assign students to specific breakout rooms in our Zoom class. In fact, I want those groupings to stay the same across classes! Is that possible, and if so, how can I manage it?
There’s no denying it, I live in a messy space. Kids, my collectibles, the pandemic, it’s all added up to chaos. When I’m on video calls, it’s a bit embarrassing! Is there a way in Google Meet for me to blank out my background so I seem more professional?
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?
