The Zoom Communications group has a service that allows us to stay connected with each other for both personal and professional reasons and fortunately it’s fairly easy to use and also free to use if you can get by with the features they offer in the free version. If you want to take advantage of the more advanced features then you can subscribe to a monthly plan for a reasonable price.
The goal of this book is to get you up and running with the Zoom service and software and cover all the things you need to know to get you started hosting meetings, webinars and video calls. It sticks with the basics yet covers a wide variety of topics to help you achieve some professional looking results without needing to be a computer guru.

Chapter 1 – What is Zoom?
Chapter 2 – Signing up for Zoom
Chapter 3 – The Zoom Interface
Chapter 4 – Zoom Meetings
Chapter 5 – Zoom Webinars
Chapter 6 – Configuring Settings
