To conduct a Zoom Online Lesson, please follow the instructions below (after this tutorial, there is a Waiting Room tutorial as well):

1. Open your Zoom App on your mobile device - whether it’s iOS or Android it should look pretty much the same at the main screen.(If you don’t have it go to your App Store and download it)

2. Sign in (if not already)

3. Press the “New Meeting” button in the top left corner:

4. In the next screen, make sure “Video On” and “Use Personal Meeting ID” are ON

5. Hit “Start Meeting”:

6. On the next screen hit the “More (3 Dots)” button in the lower right hand corner:

7. In the menu that comes up hit “Meeting Settings”:

8. In the Meeting Settings Screen, make sure “Play Chime for Enter/Exit” is enabled as well as “Put Participant In Waiting Room on Entry”:

9. The other settings don’t matter too much, but you can play around with them. Once you have these two set, hit the Done button.

10. When a student enters your “Waiting Room” you will now hear a chime and see a notification appear at the top of the screen.

11. Hit the “Admit” button if you’re ready to teach them, or wait until you are done with your current lesson:

12. You can also see who’s in your waiting room by hitting the “See Waiting Room” button. It’ll show you as the Host and which students are waiting for you.

13. You can also admit them into the waiting room from this screen as well:

14. Once you are done with your lesson, hit the “Participants” button on the bottom, hit the name of the student you are done teaching and on the menu that comes up press “Put In Waiting Room”. This will take them out of your meeting and you can now admit the next student (if there is one in your waiting room.)

15. When you are done teaching hit the “End” button in the top right hand corner and then hit the “End Meeting” button on the menu that comes up. That’s it - you have successfully taught a Zoom Lesson!

How The Waiting Room Works:

The Waiting Room can be kind of confusing at first, but it’s actually really simple to use. When you are teaching back to back lessons it’s easy to place one student in the waiting room and admit the next one to their lesson. One important note: YOU MUST enable the Waiting Room in your settings PRIOR to starting a meeting or it won’t work. Here’s what you need to do:

1. In this example I am in a meeting with a student (me) when another student pops into my waiting room. I get a notification:

2. Since I’m done teaching myself, I’m now going to go into my waiting room by hitting the “See Waiting Room” button OR by hitting the Participants Button on the bottom if the notification is gone. I see my waiting room in the next screen. “Essential Phone” is my next student:

3. If my last student isn’t gone yet, I’m going to hit their name (in this case Jeff Novack) and press “Put In Waiting Room” so they leave my meeting:

4. Next, I’m going to hit the “Admit” button for “Essential Phone” so they can now come into the Meeting and take their lesson. That’s it!
