USEFUL TOOLS

• In-Meeting Chat https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203650445-In-meeting-chat

• Participants connecting via phone or mobile often struggle to read in-meeting chat. Encourage participants to ask questions themselves rather than using in-meeting chat where possible, and ask your co-facilitator to read in-meeting chat questions aloud if relevant to the whole group.

• Raise Hand / Nonverbal feedback https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115001286183-Nonverbal-feedback-during-meetings

• ‘Nonverbal feedback’ must be enabled on Meeting Settings.

• Screen Sharing https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362153-How-Do-I-Share-My-Screen-

• Sharing a Whiteboard https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205677665

• Polling https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/213756303-Polling-for-meetings 

• ‘Polling’ must be enabled on Meeting Settings.

• Breakout Rooms https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206476313-Managing-breakout-rooms 

• ‘Breakout room’ must be enabled on Meeting Settings.

• Only Hosts can assign participants to breakout rooms.

• Participants cannot send in-meeting chat messages while in a Breakout room. To communicate with participants, click ‘Broadcast a message to all’ to send messages to all participants (this appears on-screen for 15 seconds). Participants can request assistance by clicking ‘Ask for help’, which sends the Host an invite to join the participants’ Breakout room.

• To leave activity instructions on-screen during Breakout activities, post the activity instructions to the in-meeting chat before launching the Breakout rooms.
