Zoom Toolbar Features

This guide will walk you through the features found in the Zoom toolbar when in a meeting.

Using Zoom Toolbar Features

Once Zoom is installed, a new window will open up to start a meeting session. You will need to allow Zoom to use your computer’s microphone and camera or you can connect using your phone, if that feature is available. You can adjust your camera and microphone settings anytime during the session by clicking on the microphone and video icons in the lower left corner.

The Zoom application toolbar has the following buttons across the bottom of the screen:

• Invite: to invite people to join meeting
• Manage Participants: To manage (Rename, mute) participants in the meeting
• Share Screen: to share desktop screen or other application with attendees
• Chat: to open chat box to chat with everyone or individual attendees
• Record: to record the meeting session

Manage Participants: 

The manage participants button allows you to open a popup frame, which will have all the attendees of the meeting. Host can mute or rename all or individual meeting attendees using this tool.
