I'm thinking of Making a Mini Instructional Zoom Video

[Medusa]

I'm not a Zoom expert, by any means, but I thought I could put together a quick video, explaining the basics of signing on and how all the buttons work.
Would you guys find such a thing useful?

 

[oldaunt]

Not me. I just tend to avoid video.

I would. Even though I managed to get onto your meetings a couple of times I am far from expert, or even competent.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I am not zooming with you all, but if I were, I think that a video explaining
the basics would be a very helpful thing.

 

[dobielvr]

That's a great idea Medusa.
Very helpful.

 

[Medusa]

You know I'm not either though, right? LOL I want to make this video for my Zoomie guys (and those of you soon-to-be Zoomies -- just let my amateur status be known.

 

[Medusa]

Alrighty then, I'm work'n on it.

 

[Alligatorob]

-- just let my amateur status be known.

Well you are a more advanced amateur than I. I learned all I know about it from you and your Zooms.

Zoomie guys!
I would definitely find it helpful

You don’t have to do the video chat. You can just do audio if you don’t wish to be seen.

 

[sch404]

Yes of course! I like learning new things and meeting new people!

 

[Medusa]

Okay, so there's a link to the video in my profile, but I'm disappointed that, when recording, the parts of the Zoom live screen I was trying to point out, weren't showing up. :/ Ugh.

I'll see if I can fix that.

 

[Medusa]

Okay, I can't make Zoom record the part of the screen that shows the buttons because it's not part of the actual video and neither a screen shot or pdf worked. So, I'm finding some pictures on the net that will show the buttons I'm talking about on the video.


I'll post them on my profile below the video link.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Wow. You’re so young and pretty,
What are you doing here at a senior forum?

That was a well made video and I promise not to chat in my underwear .
That was funny.

I REALLY like how you ended it with keeping gossip about others out of the chat. You didn’t say those exact words but that’s what you meant and I am ALL for that.

Well done zoomie teacher
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Patty! Your kind words are encouraging, uplifting and helpful. ♥

Great job on the ZOOM video! Thanks for making it!

Thanks, @sch404! You are always great to have at the meetings with your intelligence and gentle manner. ♥

Thank you so much Medusa for the Zoom video ... when it comes to these pieces of 21st century brilliance I'm something of a Zo(o)mbie, so your help is a real gift and I look forward to joining you guys sometime soon (PS sorry about the Zoombie thing best I could do at short notice )

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for the nice comment, @Octavo_48.

I think I got that... Zoom-oombie? Zombie?

I like the Zombie joke.
I’m fairly Zombie like with computers also.

I used to do Zoom meetings with my company, so I'm pretty familiar with the tools but I think it would be great for some who aren't. The more people that can join our Coffee Klatches, the better!

 

[Medusa]

Someone just let me know that I had the comments turned off on the little video I made for our Zooms.

I'm not sure how important that is for this video because you guys have commented here on our forum, but it would bug me if I didn't mention my correction.

Having said that, there's no need to comment on that particular video on youtube itself; it's not like it's a launch.

It would have bugged me if I didn't mention the bug fix. And... I've now learned how to turn on comments on youtube. And to use "bug" three times in as many lines.

Good idea. It should help a lot of people who don’t use Zoom now because they are unfamiliar with the features to be more at ease.
