Zoom Meeting Tips:
- Virtual Background – Give yourself a little bit a background by changing your zoom call virtual settings. In order to update the background, go to Settings and then Virtual Background. Select or upload the image that you would like to change your background to for your meetings.
- Camera Settings – Begin your meetings with the mute button on and the camera turned off by default. This will help you to be ready for your meeting. To do this, go to Settings, Audio and mute microphone when joining a meeting. Then, go to Setting, then Video and turn off my video when joining a meeting.
- Turn On The Beauty Filter – If you are working from home, the beauty filter may be quite helpful. Go to Video Settings and under My Video, check the box for Touch Up My Appearance. The filter will make you look dewy and well-resisted.
