Conference Hall”. You can use it to communicate with people you know on an ongoing
basis.
– If you open a conference with strangers or for one time, then the room is assigned a new
number each time, which is valid until the end of the conference. This is what is sent to
people in the invitation if you have invited them to a conference that has already started. This
number does not need to be copied. It will automatically be inserted into the invitation
generated when you press buttons 6 or 7.
JOIN THE CONFERENCE

has hosted
Via contact list
1. The conference organizer from the Zoom system sends you a “friend” invitation to the email
you provide to him

she will be on yours)
3. As soon as a scheduled or newly created meeting starts, the organizer clicks on your name in
the list and an invitation is sent to you in real time

computer or phone screen the invitation appears as a pop-up window (or a message appears

conference at the specified time

PARTICIPATION IN THE CONFERENCE (CONVERSATION, WEBINAR)
When you log in, the working panel of the ZOOM service will open in front of you.
You will see everyone who is currently at the conference

1 – “Mute”
With this button you can turn your microphone on and off.
According to an unspoken rule, if someone speaks on air, the rest of the participants turn off the
microphone. This is due to the fact that even if you are silent, mouse clicking, any noise in your
room, etc. audible to all participants. The more participants there are, the more background noise
there may be.
Your microphone can be turned on or off by the conference organizer.
Next to this button is a checkmark pointing up. When you press it, a menu drops down where
you can configure your microphone
2 – “Stop video”
The button is similar to the previous one. You can use it to turn your camera on and off.

But there is a difference. The host can turn off your camera, but cannot turn it on. When he
decides to reconnect you to the conversation and turns on your camera, you will be asked
for permission.
3 – “Screen sharing”
This function can be used either if you organized the conference yourself, or with the
permission of the organizer. It allows you to switch and show all participants the screen of your
computer or gadget (presentation, document, etc.). This may be necessary during a
brainstorming session, meeting, or interactive training. As soon as the screen turns on, an
additional menu appears that will allow you to draw, place arrows, move the mouse, etc.
Explore these possibilities for yourself
4 – “Chat”
This button allows you to open a chat window and write there during the session. The function is
similar to that in webinar rooms. This is useful if you are not yet participating in an active discussion
and your video is not displayed on the screen. I would like to ask a question
5 – “End conference”
With this button you can leave the conference (talk, training, meeting). If you are the organizer,
you can simply leave the “conference room”, giving others the opportunity to communicate for
a while, or you can close the conference to everyone

Why does the organizer have the right to connect and disconnect participants? It happens that
there are more participants than the work area can accommodate windows. Therefore, only those who
are currently actively participating in the conversation can be seen in the work area. The rest are “in the
shadows”. That is. They are present, they see everything, they can ask a question in the chat, but not by
voice from the screen. If the organizer needs to add new participants to an active discussion, then he
disconnects (or asks to disconnect) participants who have already spoken and connects new ones. For
example, you
To get attention you can"Raise a hand"
6 – “Raise your hand”
In order to “Raise your hand” and draw attention to yourself, you need
– Enable “Chat”, as described in step 4. A chat field will appear on the right side of you
– At the very bottom you can see two buttons “Mute my sound” and “Raise your hand”
– If you need to mute yourself so as not to disturb others while you are not participating in a
live discussion, do so here
– If you want to attract attention, click on “Raise your hand”
– As soon as you do this, the organizer will have a palm icon appear in front of your name and avatar
on the “Participants” panel. And as soon as he can he will give you the floor and display your image
on the screen if you are not there already

All! Congratulations! You're ready to use ZOOM!
