HOSTING NEWBIE: HOW TO SMOOTHLY TRANSITIOS...

[NicoleG]

HELLO,

I WILL BE HOSTING FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO TRANSITION SMOOOTHLY BETWEEN:

#1 LETTING PARTICIPANTS OUT OF THE WAITING ROOM and then,,,(HOW DO I HIT THE BUTTON TON LET PEOPLE IN AND AT THE SAME TIME HIT THE BUTTON TO START THE VIDEO?)

#2 STARTING THE INTRODUCTORY VIDEO and then...

#3  SWITCHING FROM THE VIDEO TO MY PPT BACKGROUND.

I BELEIVE THAT I NEED TO SHARE MY SCREEN ONCE I OPEN THE MEETING AND I UNDERSTAND HOW TO GET THE VIDEO GOING WHILE IN SHARE MODE...BUT HOW CAN I SMOOTHLY GET BACK TO THE ZOOM DASHBOARD TO GRAB THE PPT FOR THE VIRTUAL BACKGROUND AND THEN SHARE AGAIN TO START THE CONTENT?

THANK YOU!

P.S. SINCE I RECENTLY LEARNED HOW TO DO THE PPT SLIDES AS THE VIRTUAL BACKGROUND.  I WOULD APPRECIATE CLARITY ON HOW TO DO THE VIRTUAL BACKGROUND AND SPLIT MY SCREEN SO THAT I HAVE MY TALKING POIINTS AVAILABLE.  ANY TIPS?

Hey @NicoleG, with the waiting room enabled and while participants are in the waiting you can set up and prepare your slides and video before letting the participants in the waiting room in.

1. When you share screen > Advanced > Slides as Virtual Background

2. Start video

3. When you believe you're ready to Admit, you will see 'Admit All' 

4. Everyone upon entering should see your screen! 

Hope this helps!
