The Zoom menu bar

The Zoom menu bar appears at the bottom of the Zoom window once the meeting

appear. (The bar disappears after a few seconds when full-screen mode.)
With the Zoom menu bar, you are able to do the following:
• Mute/Unmute your audio (does not control the audio of other participants).
You can also select your audio input here by clicking the up arrow next to the
microphone icon.
• Start/Stop your video. You can also select your video input here by clicking
the up arrow next to the video camera icon.
• View a list of participants.
• Share your desktop (everything you have open on your computer) or select a
specific application to share. (only the host can enable the use of the feature).
• Send a message to one person (using private chat) or to all participants (can
be disabled by the host of the meeting).
• Leave or end the video meeting.
Helpful Tips:
• As a participant you might be asked to share your desktop of an application
for presentation purposes. The host must enable this feature prior to use. Once
your host has enabled ‘Share Screen’, click on ‘Share Screen’ in the menu bar.
Click on the Item you want to display, which will be highlighted in green,

Best practices for Zoom meetings:
• To make sure you get the most out of every session, you can use the tips
below.
• Find a quiet location from which to join your session, and make sure you have
access to a ‘steady’ Wi-Fi connection.
• Log-in to every session using your full name and roll number.
• Join a session a few minutes early to test your audio and video connections.
You should also make sure you have the latest Zoom app downloaded
(Zoom.us menu> Check for updates).
• Use a headset (or earbuds) instead of speakers and a microphone.
• The connection may sound fine to you, but speakers and a microphone
generate too much static for others (keep this in mind).
• Mute your Audio unless you are speaking (or in line to speak) to prevent
unintentional distractions
