  5. Click on either the "Invite by Email, Invite by Contacts, or Invite a Room System" tabs to invite people. 
    (This will "call" them and send them an invite to accept the call. Once they have accepted it, the meeting will be recorded).
  6. End the meeting with the "end meeting" link on the left right corner of the screen. 
  7. Save to your computer.

Schedule in the App

You can also schedule in the app. Simply go to the "Home" button and click on the "Schedule" button which will allow you to set that up.

Annotation and other ZOOM features are also available.

ZOOM Mobile App

The mobile app works in a similar way to the desktop app. The only true differences are the layouts. More specifically, the locations for the images, phone calls, video calls, photo sharing, photo album sharing, and screen sharing as these are all located under specific group chats. Video calls can be made with up to 100 people. You can present and annotate via the mobile app.

Starting a Meeting

  1. Open app and log in

  2. Allow ZOOM to have access to your smartphone microphone and camera

    Facebook Syncing

    Note: This option may be useful, but is not required of the user. Syncing the app to Facebook is most compatible events.

  3. Once everything is synced, it should directly open your camera as well as a navigation bar towards the bottom of the screen. Click on the "Invite" option to start recording. The navigation bar should have these options: Audio, Video, Invite, Participant, and Share. 
    These are all the same as the desktop app and therefore, follow the same process. 


Sharing on Multiple Devices

The ZOOM mobile app allows users to share screens with other devices.

To access this feature:

  • Select "Share" on the right corner of the navigation bar.
  • Open Bluetooth settings on smartphone and select the device desired.
