Suggestions for better experiences when using Zoom

When you are using Zoom for a meeting, it is important that you take steps to ensure the best experience.

Use the best internet connection you can.
- Wired connections are better than wireless connections.
- Let the instructor or meeting moderator know if you are using a slower connection.
Mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
- When your microphone is on, Zoom will use part of your connection for the audio stream.
Turn off your video.
- If the meeting host is okay with it, turn off your video stream to save bandwidth.
Close other applications on your computer or device.
- Avoid any activity on your computer or device that uses your internet connection.

Different ways to join a meeting

Joining a meeting can be done different ways. A meeting invitation email or a meeting room number via email can be sent to participants. The Zoom Help Center shows you how to join a meeting in the How do I Join a Meeting? web page. If you do not have the Zoom desktop app installed on your device, you will be prompted to do so.

If you are using a Macintosh, click on the Mac header. To access the meeting from a Macintosh, you may need the meeting room number. This can be found on the email invitation or at the end of the meeting web address.

Sharing a cloud recording in Zoom

From the email that you received when the cloud recording has finished processing. There will be a password at the end of the link. You must be careful copying and pasting because it is easy to pick up a stray character at the end, which causes the password to fail.
In the Zoom web portal, under recordings, click Share next to the meeting name in the list.
You can then copy the link to the clipboard and lookup the password if needed.
Share via email.
