Howfinity .... so one question I have is how to utilize the whole screen of a website that me (the Host) is using to teach something from a website. Is there a way to make to make the website FIT on my Zoom screen? Ty

@Howfinity 4 жыл бұрын

@@AskBradFischer I believe when you press sharescreen on a zoom session, it allows you to pick your entire screen or just an application or a website that is open on Chrome and your web browser. I just tested it and it showed the entire website edge to edge.

Now this is the way to make a computer video! He has helpful graphics, he moves along at an easy to follow pace, he's pitching to his audience, and not talking over the beginner level with a lot of needless jargon, and he has an excellent speaking voice. . I have seen dozens of computer videos where the guy zips around too fast, he leaves out helpful information and assumes to much knowledge on the part of his audience. Many of those computer videos don't even have a narrator! No one is talking. I know computer boys are famous for poor social skills. But people who make videos on every other topic understand that a tutorial video needs a narrator explaining what is happening on the screen.

First time I'm going to use Zoom this week in a conference. I really hope I'm not going to be the last one in the group to get it set up properly when it goes live. It gets messy when you have a separate cam, from headphones and microphones, etc, and not all built into a laptop. I have a tower PC with loads of different speaker outputs, mic inputs, sound card outputs.

Sandra Fennings Hi Sandra. It’s pretty easy but not obvious. After you push the start button to begin a meeting, your screen will have a menu across the bottom. Push the “more” button on the right side. There’s an option for “virtual background”. Push that button and you can use a default background or add up to 3 photos from your photo library. This works on my iPhone, not sure about android or my MacBook Pro.
