![]() If you’re in many Zoom meetings one of the things that may allow you to relax more deeply and stay better focused is to hide the video of yourself. To rename yourself just select Rename from the options at the top right of your video while in Gallery View or next to your name in the Participants pane. This can help everyone know who you are and can really be a help to the host of the meeting. But have you ever joined a meeting and discover your name is your wife’s iPad or your husband’s email address? No matter what your name is you can always rename yourself once you’re in a meeting. It’s always nice when people call you by your name. On your computer click and hold on their video, drag it to where you want it and drop it there. You can unpin them at any time by selecting “Unpin Video” at the top left of their video.ĭid you know that in Gallery View you can drag and drop people’s video to different places in the grid? If you want to be in Gallery View but there are one to two people doing most of the talking you can put them right at the centre or top of your screen. This can save you a lot of frustration if others make sound. ![]() This will switch you to Speaker View and keep their video large on your screen no matter what else happens. Well, there’s always a way to deal with this using the Pin Video option.Īt any point while in Gallery View you can move the cursor over someone’s video and select Pin Video from the options that come up in the top right of their video. Have ever been in a Zoom meeting and you’re in Speaker View and one person is talking but then someone else coughs and the video jumps to their embarrassed face for a moment? Or then someone’s dog barks or a phone rings and someone clears their throat and the video just keeps jumping all around and giving you a headache? In most cases the toggle button is at the top right of your screen (on phones you can usually change by swiping across the screen). If you’re in a very long meeting toggling between the views periodically for a different perspective can also help you stay fresh and more alert. This can help you notice if someone else wants to speak or how people are reacting to what’s being said. If you’re have an open discussion you might want to consider switching to Gallery View so you can see more of the people at once. This will help you focus on them and what they’re saying and have deeper connection with them. If one person is going to be talking for a while consider using Speaker View, where that person takes up most of you screen. I’d recommend you consider using different views for different circumstances. If it is a very large meeting there may be a few pages of participants you can scroll though using arrows on the side of the screen. Gallery View shows you up to 25 people (on most displays) at once. Speaker View shows you a large version of the person currently speaking with a few small views of some of the others in the meeting. You can toggle between them using a button in the top right corner. If you’re on a computer or some larger tablets there are two primary views you can choose from while in a Zoom meeting: Speaker View and Gallery View. ![]() Knowing how and when to change the way you’re viewing the meeting can really help you feel engaged and comfortable. Get familiar with Muting and Unmuting your microphone, turning your video on and off and using the Raise Hand button. If you’ve done a lot of Zoom meetings it may go without saying but if you feel comfortable with the basic features of Zoom it will take some of the stress off of you when you’re meeting. Just like if you’re having a meeting face to face, make an effort to find a good and healthy spot for yourself. Position or angle your web camera so you can sit comfortably with good, natural posture. ![]() Go to a bit of extra effort to get setup with a comfortable chair. It may work to be in that hard chair handholding your iPad for the first few minutes, but it will probably get old fast. If you’re going to be on a lot of Zoom meetings do what you can to make yourself comfortable. ![]()
