• • To share a video in your Zoom class, please view: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202954249-Optimizing-a-Shared-Video-Clip-in-Full-Screen
  • Tip: If you can stream your video from YouTube it is advisable do that. The speed will be higher because the video is downloading directly from YouTube’s servers, rather than uploading from your computer and then downloading on your participant’s computers.

Group presentations 

• When two or more students are at one computer presenting as a group in a Zoom meeting, multiple students can be on the mic (6-7 are usually fine) and one can share the presentation screen with the class. The others can talk and the presenter can advance the slides
• Have the host make presenters co-hosts during their presentation so that they may control the participant window and can handle raised hands and unmute other students to take questions
