Use of the different functions in the meeting

​

You will see the meeting options, such as the camera/microphone settings, on the toolbar below the screen. Remember that the toolbar can be hidden; you can make it appear by tapping on the screen.

​

The use of the symbols are explained in the next 7 steps.

​

• STEP 1: Microphone and speaker settings. The two symbols on the very left side, the microphone and the camera, will let you modify the settings for those. Mute yourself by tapping directly onto the microphone symbol; you will see that you are on mute when there is a red streak through the microphone symbol (also when the toolbar disappears when you are not active). Tap on the screen and then on the microphone in the toolbar to unmute yourself again. If you tap on the camera symbol, you can stop the video and your picture will disappear. Tap onto the same symbol again to start it again. ​

​​

• STEP 2: Share screen. You can use this function to show your screen or a white board you can draw onto to the other person, for example if you want to explain something. Tap on the "Share screen" symbol and choose between the different options for sharing by tapping on the one you want on the dropdown menu. Zoom will ask for permission to show things on top of other apps - allow this by sliding the toggle next to the statement to the right. (Once you give permission, you do not need to repeat this every time as the app will remember it.) If you choose to share a white board, you will see the white screen you can draw and write on. Tap on "Stop share" at the bottom whenever you want to finish the screen sharing. If you do not see the stop share/bottom toolbar, then, similar to the main toolbar, tap onto the screen to make it reappear.

​​

• STEP 3: More. All the settings explained in the next steps you will find when tapping on "More" in the bottom bar. If you tap on "Disconnect audio" (in red), you will mute yourself and will not be able to hear the other participants anymore. If there are several people in the meeting, they will not be able to hear you anymore, but communication between them will be uninterrupted. You will be able to connect the audio again by tapping on a symbol appearing in the bottom left corner of the toolbar.

​

• Participants. Tap on this symbol to see who is already on the meeting and to invite new participants.

​

• STEP 4: Reactions. Tap onto the symbol you want to send and it will appear at the bottom of your picture, visible to everyone in the meeting. (In the example picture you see Paloma Talk alone in the chat room sending a heart - but this is how people on the other end will see the reaction.)

​​

• STEP 5: Security. This is a "host" option, and you will not see it if you are a guest.

​

• STEP 6: Chat. If you tap on "Chat", you can send messages to everyone or a selected participant in the meeting. If someone else sends you a message, it will appear in a pop up message that opens when you tap on it. In the example below Paloma Talk has sent a message to everyone and then to Corinne privately, and has set the drop down choice back to "Everyone" for the next chat message in line.

​

• NOTE: If you write in the chat during a meeting, your camera will switch off and you will show to the other person as a name on the screen only.

​​

• STEP 7: Meeting settings. The top section includes the "host" options, so you will not see them as a guest. In the bottom section you can find the general options, such as whether you want to display the other meeting participants in gallery view.
