Screen shots of the steps to join, and raise hand.
1) Click on the zoom link, this will prompt you to either download with Google Playstore, or Itunes. Download the zoom app.
2) Once the app has downloaded go back to the zoom link and click the link again this time it will prompt you to open with zoom app.
3) Enter your name, if you choose to only have first name, or include last name this is up to you, however this meetings will be open to anyone who can view the link, so it's your anonymity. Once done Click "OK"
4) You will be prompted to join via Device Audio, or Dial In. Device Audio is preferable as it doesn't require any additional steps. Dial in will call the zoom meeting and provide the audio through that, unmuting requires using phone dial to enter codes to unmute and raise hand.
5) In zoom meetings the way to share is to raise your hand, each meeting will likely run their meeting different, but raising your hand and waiting to be called on seems to be the best way to keep a meeting running smoothy, rather than everyone attempting to talk over eachother.
6) Some hosts may ask you to Unmute yourself, from the main zoom meeting screen you will see the Unmute button at the bottom. Clicking this button should unmute, if this option is not there it is likely that step 5's Join Audio button is still in it's place.
7) To get to the chat you can click on participants in the bottom of the main Zoom screen. The following Image shows some examples
#1 is my account I was logged into, clicking on this I am given the option to Raise Hand, Change Name, and Unmute.
#2 Is another user in the meeting,Clicking on their name will bring me to a private message.
#3 Will bring me to the meetings chat
#4 Will allow me to share the meeting information with other through the standard methods. Text, E-mail FB messenger etc...
Example of #1 (Missing unmute as my room doesn't allow users to unmute themselves)
Example of #3 (To change to private message either click on someones name from the participants menu, or check the change the "Send to" From everyone to a specific person.
