Recurring Meetings don't have a label for the date/time of the meeting. 1:45 Video (when joining a meeting) -- on or off? 2:20 Audio Options: I prefer "Both" instead of "telephone only" or "VoIP Only" 2:26 Why I don't require meeting password, and when to 2:56 "Enable join before host" -- check this box if participants already know each other 3:50 Record meeting automatically? 4:10 Recurring Meetings 4:58 How to find the meeting ID / access link / phone numbers again 6:45 What happens if you check the box "Always use PMI for instant meetings on this computer" (sorry to repeat myself here!) 7:16 How to get into a specific zoom meeting that you created 7:54 How to mute all / make sure all new participants are muted automatically and whether to "Allow participants to unmute themselves" 8:52 How to stop someone's video 8:58 How to spotlight (focus the attention on) someone's video -- including your own I forgot to mention -- it's helpful to "Lock Meeting" if you frequently promote a particular Zoom link.

(It doesn't.) 29:08 Re-size the zoom video windows by clicking & dragging either bottom corner 29:35 How to Broadcast a Message (an announcement text) to everyone in the breakout rooms 30:40 Tip: After breakout room, be sure to spotlight your own video again, so people know they're back in the main room. There's "Leave meeting" (which means keeping the room open) and "End meeting" which means closing the room.... so that you can open another room and allow people to enter. With the kind of zoom account most of us have, we can only have 1 room open at a time... so whatever room you aren't using, don't just close the window (which equals "Leave meeting") but do click End Meeting. *** BIG thanks to those who showed up and helped me out!
