Advanced Zoom Facilitation Techniques

With companies working with more remote workers and distributed teams, online meeting tools are becoming more important. This webinar goes through several of the advanced Zoom features that allow you to run a more effective online meeting. We cover setting up and starting a meeting, using tools like annotations and breakout rooms, and how to record and save meetings.

There were a few questions at the end of the webinar. I’ve found the following answers to each of them and posted them below. Thanks, everyone for attending!

Can you pre-assign who is in which breakout group before the meeting?

The answer is yes. You can do this via meeting options and you can also upload a CSV file. Seem that some options might need an enterprise account, however. The CSV file looks the trick if you want to create multiple meetings and have the same breakout groups each time (i.e. the classroom example that someone gave).

Here is more on this from the Zoom site:

Can you host multiple meetings at the same time?

The answer is no. If you try to do this you’ll get booted out of one meeting when you open the second. I would have separate hosts for each meeting, each with their own Zoom account.
