Zoom is a service for online meetings. Zoom is really, really easy. Especially if you have experiences with Skype or WebEx, you will be pleasantly surprised that finally - A company who got it right!
Installation
Zoom is available for pretty much all platforms:
- As an app for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android
- As a plugin for various browsers (Chrome & Firefox?).
Go to https://zoom.us/download to download an app or plugin.
How to join a meeting?
What you need to join a Zoom meeting:
- A Meeting ID, consisting of nine figures, like
123 456 789
- Sometimes a Password
- Naturally, the day and time that the meeting takes place
- The app or plugin installed on your computer or mobile device
- A functioning microphone on your device. Video is a nice extra, but by no means necessary.
Meeting ID & password are often provided in one URL, like
https://zoom.us/j/123219123?pwd=NUdTbmt1cUt6VmZxN3liR29SMGZ12345
When following this link, Zoom will open in your browser (provided you have the Zoom plugin installed).
or separate, like
Meeting ID: 123 219 123 Password: BlubBlub
In this case, open the Zoom app on your device, or go to https://zoom.us/join
in your browser, and enter the Meeting ID.
How to start a meeting
- Create a Zoom account (or use somebody's else's account)
- With creating a Zoom account, you automatically get a 'default meeting', like
https://zoom.us/j/3860386123
- Anyon to whom you give this URL, can join you in your meeting - So simple! - I think with a free account, meetings are limited to 40 minutes, and you can only create one meeting (namely, your 'default meeting')
Limitations of free accounts
When you start with a free Zoom account (called Zoom Basic), meetings with 3 or more participants, are limited to 40 minutes
Parts of Zoom
Most of the stuff is only relevant if you want to be a really, really good chair. If you just want to participate in a meeting, you can probably do without any of this stuff.
Main Window
The Main Window is where you usually spend most of your time during a meeting. Some parts that usually live here:
- Gallery View: Video feeds of participants
- Speaker View: Video feed of the speaker, maybe combined with some video feeds of participants
- Shared Desktop
- Whiteboard
The Main Window can be a split screen with various objects - Really handy!
Shortcut Bar
- Zoom has a desktop share or screen share function, where you can choose which part of your desktop is shared - really handy!
- When sharing your screen (e.g., to share literature), for people who join through a mobile phone, stuff is still readible, as they can zoom in.
Participants list
The Shortcut Bar has a link Participants. When you click on it, a separate windows opens with a list of all participants, with several attributes. For business meetings, this list is indispensable. In large meetings, I would move this window to a separate computer screen.
The Participants List can be merged with the Main Window.
Invite button
The Invite Button in the Shortcut bar produces a text like this, ready to be texted or emailed:

Some other functions
Record
- Only participants with the record privilege can record the Main Windows of the meeting, including audio
- A sign Recording will be displayed on all participants' screens - So no secret recordings.
Host
A meeting has a Host, usually the person who started the meeting. The Host has various functions that others don't have, like muting participants.
