Getting Started
To get the most out of Zoom, you need to understand Zoom meetings and other Zoom products and then create and sign in to your Zoom account. From there, you can download the Zoom client, join a test meeting, and examine the Zoom desktop and mobile windows.

Understanding Zoom Meetings
A Zoom meeting is an online connection point where multiple people in multiple locations can gather to socialize or to exchange ideas and information. In most Zoom meetings, each attendee interacts using both audio and video, which enables the meeting participants to hear and see each other.
Each Zoom meeting is created and moderated by the meeting host, who is also responsible for inviting the other attendees to the meeting. Besides conversing and discussing ideas, meeting participants can also share their computer screen with others, and the meeting host can record the meeting for later playback.
Hosting a Meeting
Every Zoom meeting must be created by a person called the host. The host sets the parameters of the meeting (for example, whether attendees can share their screens), sends out invitations to the meeting participants, and controls access to the meeting. Hosts can create instant meetings that start right away or can schedule meetings that start at a specified time. Hosts are also responsible for moderating the meetings, which can include muting or removing participants, as well as ending the meeting.
Joining a Meeting
To participate in a Zoom meeting, you must join the meeting. For almost all Zoom meetings, you can join only if you receive an invitation from the meeting host and if the host allows you access to the meeting when you request it. Once you are in the meeting, you normally share your device’s camera feed so that other attendees can see you. Your microphone is normally muted, but you can quickly unmute the microphone to participate in the conversation.
