  • So many times the lady was talking but I could not understand what she was talking about, using undefined terms by times. As well she talked about muting and such but the scrolling words seemed to say the opposite of her spoken message. She would be a wonderful teacher if we could learn as fast as she talks. She does indeed know her topic. I wish I could be joyous and hail her from the rooftops.
  • Fantastic info! This tip was so helpful. I have an event coming up and I want to spotlight two people. Now I know how. Thank you so much for sharing!
  • @lola2837
    Thank you so much for this! I had no idea hosts can potentially see private chats & I didn’t know about the slide feature during a shared screen. Great list of tips!
  • @nizarjiwan6970
    Your emphasis on gentling smiling and demonstrating how to be comfortable under your own skin when on zoom call was inspiring. Also, screen sharing part towards the end was useful.
  • This was your first video that I’ve seen. I really enjoyed it. Subscribed 😄
  • @donability
    Thank you. I get so overwhelmed, it helps to hear someone so energetic and positive, yet practical.

    Related to Tip #8, I have proudly developed dozens of Zoom countdown timers you can download for only $2 each or $10 for the bundle. It's awesome, come check them out: www.feisworld.com/timer

    This video is excellent and demonstrates the attention to detail every professional Zoomer (and IRL meeting participant) needs to emulate. The 20 meeting tips are all great rudimentary advice (although, I'd say headphones are always advisable, as they let you use optimal audio settings within Zoom). The shot is framed well. The camera is slightly above eye-level and the room is well-lit. Audio is good. Background is attractive, non-distracting, and slightly out of focus. You're killing it, Fei. Thank you. I just subscribed.
  • @mltnetwork
    You are AWESOME...thank you for all your videos you put out to help us....Thanks!!
  • @denisewozniak
    I found one important part to remember is that when you share your screen to a website, make sure you don't have any other website tabs open that you don't want people to see, e.g. if you have a tab open with a title like "my health results" and you are not using it, then shut it down. People will look across the shared page to see what else you are working on, even though the actual item is not fully in view. I hope that makes sense. Great tip about the personal messages being recorded too! Thanks.
  • @Steven-do2dp
