Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 31453" data-attributes="member: 2672">Zoom - hints and tips Mute and unmute your mic quickly using the space bar If you have to follow just one tip for Zoom then let it be this one. When there are too many participants in a meeting, it’s hard to hear everyone because of cross-talk and background noise. But you can reverse this behaviour by a simple hack. If you are in a Zoom meeting and not speaking then keep your mic on mute. And when you want to talk briefly, simply hold the space bar to enable the mic and speak. Once you release the space bar key, you’ll be muted again. Screenshots Sometimes when on seminars you want to take a screenshot of the slide that is being presented. You can do this by pressing Alt + Shift + T or Command + T For the vain amongst us... (and yes I have done this...) Zoom offers an option to <a href="https://beebom.com/best-selfie-apps-android-ios/" target="_blank">beautify your look</a>. It softens your skin tone and smooths out any blemish on your video display. Overall, it offers a more polished and pleasing appearance to your look while you are in a meeting. So to enable it, open Settings -> Video -> turn on “Touch up my appearance” and you are done. I'd recommend testing it out though before starting. It also isn't necessary to do this - no one is really going to care what you look like as long as you look presentable and are not rocking up with bed hair and PJs. Change your viewing settings When you get started with Zoom for the first time, the app has its default video layout set to ‘Active Speaker’, which shows the person currently talking in the main window. However, if you want, you can switch to the Gallery View to see all the participants on the conference call at the same time. For this, click on Gallery View in the top-right of the screen. Use the raise hand option If you are in a meeting and the organiser is talking and you don't want to interrupt them, you can typically use the "raise hand" option to show you want to speak. Some Zoom meetings will also have a Q&A function too. Virtual backgrounds: You can use virtual backgrounds in Zoom but in a professional setting they can be slightly distracting, especially if they go fuzzy as you move about or if you disappear behind them. Only use them if absolutely necessary, and definitely don't use them to try and impress as this could be perceived as tacky.</blockquote>
