Welcome to Zoomtown, USA: A Guide to Zoom Security & Great Meetings 

I’ve been using Zoom to teach online (and serve as tech support for my Dad’s computer 😂) since 2013 and since the advent of COVID-19 the number of Zoom users has grown exponentially. You’re likely Zooming so much that you already know just how real a thing Zoom Fatigue is by now. (Pro tip: try not to schedule meetings back-to-back!)

Whether you’re a casual Zoom user or brand new to remote meetings and instruction, the guide I’ve compiled can help! In Part One, I cover how to manage Zoom’s security features so you can manage meetings without worry of intruders (and what to do if you have one). In Part Two, I focus on some of the features that make Zoom wonderful for library work and a few tips for making your own Zoom gatherings more thoughtful, purposeful, and fun!
