Audio, Video, & Sharing

Getting Started

Choose the Session Format - Zoom supports Webinars and Meetings
Use their comparison to choose the best format for your teaching, but briefly meetings are designed for collaboration and all participants can screen share, turn on their audio/video, and see others in attendance. Webinars are designed for the host and designated panelists to present/share their screen, audio, & video. Most attendees will be view-only and can interact via Q&A, chat, and polls.
