ZOOM INSTRUCTIONS FOR IPAD & IPHONE
An advantage of the iPad and iPhone on zoom is that their microphones and speakers are built in. Zoom will ask you if it can control your mike and speaker and you should say yes.
A disadvantage is that the iPad limits you to seeing 9 participants at one time and the iPhone limits you to 4.
GETTING ON
tap on the URL on the email invitation.
tap on the URL on the email invitation.
ALWAYS SHOW MEETING CONTROLS
Tap the upper right corner of your screen until the control panel appears.
Tap the three dots at the end of the panel
On the drop down menu tap meeting controls
Look down the list and find where it says keep meeting controls on and be sure the green light is on.
When it is, tap done.
The conrol panel disappears but can but can be made to stay by tapping settings in the lower left corner and making the right choices afterwards.
MUTE AND UNMUTE
Get rid of the red slash thru your microphone by tapping on that microphone in the control panel. Mute yourself by tapping on to get the red line.
Same as above for iPhone
CHANGE BETWEEN GALLERY AND SPEAKER VIEW
On the left upper corner there are buttons to leave the meeting, to change your camera focus and to change your view piled above each other. Be careful to tap the correct one.
This involves swiping and right and left but you might just swipe yourself
out of the meeting. Just stick with what you have.

Tap on Participants in control panel
Same for the iPhone
RENAME
Tap your name in the participants list and a drop-down menu will appear. Tap rename, tap rename and type in your new name into the keyboard that appears and tap done.
Tap on the participants panel and then on the x after your name. Use the onscreen keyboard to type your name and tap on done.
ENTER CHAT
Tap on Chat in the control panel and then put your cursor at the bottom of that screen where it says type. When you finish press the send button.
RAISE HAND AND LOWER IT
If you are not the host you have the option to raise or lower your hand in the drop down menu from the three dots at the end of the control panel.
Tap on Participants and than on Raise Hand at the bottom of your screen. If someone else asks your question first, you can lower your hand by tapping that command.
Comment: We found it is sometimes necessary to pin the control panel on the screen So if it disappears it is important to know where to tap to get it to retrun. For the iPad the upper right corner; for the iPhone the bottom of the screen.
Instructions for the iPad are in navy blue:
Instructions for the iPhone are in green.
