Wow!! Outstanding!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, after going through several tutorials, which did not really give me what I was looking for. A SIMPLE and "TO THE POINT" explanation of how to *_join_* my first zoom meeting!! THANK YOU!! :-)
You're very welcome!
Couldn't agree more. I started out with Zoom's own beginner lesson and was totally lost immediately. Thank you

As a senior, I thank you for taking the time to make this video on CZcams. Your presentation doesn’t seemed hurried and your speech is not rapid. Thus making it easy for one to follow. I feel confident about learning this program. Thank you, again.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you have fun with Zoom. :-)
I have a beautiful community of senior yoga clients and I miss teaching them Chair Yoga. I am offering them online classes and your tutorial is PERFECT to send them in order to get them started on Zoom. Even your *virtual* presence is confident and reassuring, so I can imagine your clients appreciate you greatly. I will be pointing each of my clients to watch this super helpful video ... Thank you so much, Marcia!
Hi Bethanie, Thank you for moving to online classes so that those seniors (and others) can keep doing chair yoga! I appreciate knowing that this video will help. :-) If you are new to hosting Zoom calls, this video might be useful: czcams.com/video/hI32Xk2Va7M/video.html
If your clients are joining by phone my new video may be helpful czcams.com/video/d6QjODgTuQE/video.html
Hi Bethanie, I hope you got all of your clients to follow you onto Zoom. You're making a great contribution servicing seniors. Keeping them inspired, strong & flexible means they're able to enjoy a better quality of life. Committing to exert a small effort, repeated every day, over 6 months to a year, can build a weak or overweight person into a nearly unrecognizable healthy & fit new person. I saw several mind blowing testimonials from DDP Yoga (Diamond Dallas Paige, former wrestler). He recovered from an injury using Yoga & developed a program to help others with disabilities. He modified poses to use chairs or other means of support to gradually help clients modify their lifestyle with movement & diet to reclaim their health. Many underwent seemingly impossible transitions & were nearly unbelievable. They kept mini time stamp videos as a journal to show their progress as proof. Any one that feels defeated should watch that & they'd be encouraged to try. Wishing you & your clients wonderful success & abundant Blessings!
Thanks for this Marcia. I'm having to get my head round Zoom for the first time due to home working in this time of Coronavirus. Anything techy scares the wits out of me and I've looked at other instructional videos and given up. You have provided something really straightforward that I could really understand and follow, so much appreciated. Stay safe!
You too! You've got this!
Sure is gonna be fine if you can able to buy one
No one should be afraid of educating themselves young or old people who are in are in and like me starting off you have to start from scratch hi everyone out there
Straight and simple to the tutorials, friendly presentation and debunking the "mysteries and anxieties" about using Zoom for the first time. Kudos, Marcia! Thank you!
You are welcome! I hope you have fun with Zoom.
This is wonderful. I am a new zoom user about to host a meeting. Some of my participants have not used zoom before. Thank you very much.
I hope your meeting goes well! It won't take long before newbies are comfortable connecting with you on Zoom. I have another video for hosting a meeting for the first time: czcams.com/video/hI32Xk2Va7M/video.html
You did an awesome job explaining. I watched this before I hosted my first conference call and everything turned out great. I have forwarded your video onto my co-workers. Thank you for sharing !!
I'm glad it helped you!
i found this so helpful --thank you. being able to use this technology is no small thing for me (for us) right now. and your clear teaching style is deeply appreciated. grateful i found this. much thanks!!
Thank you! I hope your enjoy connecting this way.
I was really nervous about joining a Zoom call for the first time as I have an on-boarding/training scheduled for a new job working from home in a few days. You have helped so much to calm my fears. Thank You Marcia!
Enjoy Zoom and your new job!
Wow! Exactly my feelings and situation!
So glad to hear I'm not the only one nervous about all this. 😁
I joined a group based on the tutorial I received from you. I did very well except one problem, I did not know how to communicate with the host that I have a question to raised. Struggle and what I did was to send a message through chat that I have a question. Please reply to this
Awssh
@@awashteklehaimanot7754 You can either unmute your microphone and ask your question, or if you don't want to interrupt the host, typing it in the chat is usually good and they'll answer.
Thank you for creating a clear, calm explanation of how to get started. I think that the older members of my organization will especially appreciate the easy, conversational tone of your step-by-step instructions. Thanks again!
I'm glad the video is helpful to your organization members!
Thank you for using language I can understand and not overwhelming us with every whistle & bell. I'm 74; I sent this to both of my sisters.
I'm thrilled this helped you and your sisters! Thank you for using Zoom to share your wisdom with others!
Nice picture you have gotten here pretty. If you dont mind. I will Love to have a chat with you
No bells. No whistles. No fast talk. No loud noise. This is the perfect instruction video.
I'm glad it was helpful! :-)
Too slow really... like she thinks most of her audience doesn't speak native English... I admire that consideration but it makes her seem a little loopy at the start of the video.
Thank you so much. I live an hour away from my workplace and often 1 hour "mandatory" meetings are held on my days off. I KNOW 😔! You are a life saver. I can join, along with many others, even if we are in the midst of enjoying what should be work- free time with our families. Yay! Thanks for keeping it straight, simple, and short.
PS... I watched several other "simple, easy ZOOM tutorial" videos and yours is truly the only one that can claim that title.
I'm glad my video helped! :-)
Needed an unintimidating, unassuming introduction to Zoom for my church members that haven’t used it and may not be tech savvy. Thanks for this!
Hi James - My church is using it too. I hope it helps your members. :-)
+1 for an Annual General Meeting for a community group!
Yes, unassuming introduction is key. That's what I found helpful.
If your members are joining by phone, my new video may be helpful czcams.com/video/d6QjODgTuQE/video.html
Thank you so much for this video. I'm using Zoom with my senior students to help them stay active while we can't meet for class. Your thoughtful approach was perfect to share with them. They were understandably hesistant but willing to try and several of my students joined me for a virtual class. I think your video really helped.
I'm so glad!
Great workout(as usual) The slowness is just what I needed, considering how I'm feeling this afternoon !!! Thank you Pahla! IT WAS ALL GOOD !!!!
This was a very concise and informative video.. I am a complete novice when it comes to this type of computer stuff, but I think I can follow your instructions and actually do this.. thank you ... thank you !!!
I'm so glad you feel comfortable to join a call now. Enjoy!
This is brilliant! I was feeling sick about making my first call. This is so clear and easy. Thanks so much! Xxx
You've got this!
Thanks! You have a very pleasant manner and speaking voice, and offer a very succinct and straightforward explanation.
Have fun with Zoom!
Another great tutorial - thank you so much, Marcia! It's so clear and straightforward, your voice is so gentle and you are so encouraging, and obviously sympathetic to raw beginners! I'll definitely share the video with my friends and acquaintances who haven't got Zoom yet and are a bit nervous of joining a meeting.
Thank you so much! Please do share so other people can get comfortable connecting online. :-)
THANK YOU - This is perfect for beginners - I loved that you spoke SLOWLY - I'll be sharing with my friends!!
Glad it was helpful!
You are one of the most pleasant and effective presenters on this topic. You must be treasured by your students.
Thank you! :-)

Well done! I am trying to share with my family so this is exactly perfect in just 8 minutes! Thank you!!
You are welcome! I'm glad it will help your family. If anyone is joining by phone , they can watch my joining by phone video czcams.com/video/d6QjODgTuQE/video.html
Hi Stacey
Thank you very much Marcia. I have watched a LOT of "How to join your very first Zoom call..." videos here,
and yours is the best. I'm sending it out to the population I "shepherd".
Your video is well-paced, has clear enunciation, a nice neutral background, upbeat delivery, and covers all the basics for the first-time zoom-caller.
Again, thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for sharing with others who would find it helpful! I also have a video to help folks join with their phone here: czcams.com/video/d6QjODgTuQE/video.html
@@ChadlyCreativeConsulting Excellent - thank you. I volunteer at at CCRC and some of the residents find Zoom-ing just a bit challenging. They love you ;-)
@@fatpitch3 Knowing that puts a big smile on my face! 😀
Thank you Marcia! I'm retired and great with computers - shop and do everything on line, BUT I've never done a Zoom. A medical professional wants to do one, she just let me know. So from the time she called (a few minutes ago) I watched one short video on where to download it and yours on how to use it. Wow, I thought it would be so complicated and it's not - or you're so very good at explaining it. When I watch TV and people are using it, I kind of laugh when people often try to talk but they're still on Mute....so I'll watch that. Thanks again - you're great! Oh, forgot to say you've got the most calm and soothing voice!!
I hope you enjoy using Zoom 🙂
Excellent! Nice and easy pace respectfully taught! Well done!
Thank you :-)
Thank you so much for this great video! I am sharing with my choir so everyone can join my zoom meeting!
Great idea - have fun singing together!
Thank you so much Marcia! Awesome job making this first timer less stressed.
You got this!
Thank you Marcia for speaking clearly and slowly - unlike those fast animations that one cannot follow. This is outstanding: the best Zoom learning video.
You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy using Zoom. :-)
You are right pretty. How are you. merry Xmas
Thank you so much. You’ve taken a lot of the anxiety out of my first webinar tomorrow!
I hope you had fun with the webinar. :-)
Thanks for such a comprehensive, easily understood presentation. As a former tech teacher, I cheerfully give you an A+++++!!!!!
Wow, thank you! :-)
This was a really clear explanation on how to use the app. Exactly what was required. Good job Marcia!
Glad you liked it!!
You're the only one who showed me what to do! Thank you!
I'm glad the video was helpful!
After using a tutorial, this video was very good at demonstrating things for a cyber-idiot such as myself. Thank you.
I'm glad it helped. Have fun with Zoom!
Seemed like a mess of confusion~ but I will watch it again
I hope your confusion lessens when you watch again. If you have questions, let me know.
You’re right
Thank you! This is so helpful! My anxiety has gone down some now about joining my first call today for work! I’m 49 and I love your instruction style. My tech phobia is real! Thx again.
I'm glad you are feeling empowered! :-)
Wow, many thanks. I have my first Zoom meeting this week at work and now feel confident about joining.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I just subscribed to your Channel.
You are welcome. I hope you enjoy the meeting!
Thank you I really enjoyed your teaching. I am not feeling so overwhelm now
Wonderful!
What a great, simple, step by step 'how to'! No need to be afraid; we can do this.
Yes, you can! Have fun with it. :-)
I like this. Marcia takes it nice and slowly and love the blue glasses. We are just catching up with Zoom big time in the UK since the lockdown. Really helpful to send to new Zoomers.
Enjoy!
This is great. Thank you. I've been coming up against seniors who are unfamiliar with technology and trying to talk them through setting it up for the first time.
I like your video and teaching style.
Is it possible for you to do a video for those with a smart phone? One lady I support doesn't have a computer. She has a samsung and I'm trying to help her but of course I can't see what's happening on her screen. So frustrating.
Hi Deborah, Thank you! I'm glad this information is a good resource as you are helping seniors stay connected! Doing a version using a smart phone is a good idea. All phones will be different, but seeing what happens on one phone may help someone figure out their phone. I'll see how my time goes in the next couple of weeks.
If they are joining by phone, my new video may be helpful czcams.com/video/d6QjODgTuQE/video.html
Excellent explanation! Thanks. We’re Zooming with our nephew who’s getting married tonight during this “most unusual time”? In our lives and in history. Zoom apparently is an improvement on Skype so, we’re looking forward to joining our family in a way we never expected. As it’s said, “A port in any storm”. Zoom is my nephew’s port to have his family share in his nuptials. Thank you again.
What amazing stories they will have! Many blessings to them and your family.
Creative Life Center yes, thanks to your excellent education, we’ re attending the wedding as I write this. It’s amazing & we’re so happy we could get together with >200 friends! Thanks again.
@@denirn8725 This warms my heart - thank you for sharing this story with me!
Thank you for making this tutorial simple and easy! It is a great service.
You're very welcome!
Thanks. simple, easy to follow and a pleasant voice to take you through.
You're very welcome!
Doesn't tell me where that information comes from on the first page. You need to start a bit further back. It assumes too much knowledge.
You will be sent that information by the person who is inviting you to the Zoom call - often by email or text.
Thanks, Marcia, this is simple and straight to the point.
I'm glad it was helpfu. :-)
I’m glad I stumbled on this. I appreciate your clear and concise explanations. This is very useful, thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Marcia. Thanks so much.
Hi Reid, You are welcome!
Thanks, Marcia! Very clear and helpful I have my first meeting in about an hour. Now I know what to do!
I hope your meeting was fun!
Why is it that so many guys speed through the tutorial thinking you are as experienced as them, Marcia your description & pace is perfect, even my dog understood? Thanks a million.
I'm glad the video was helpful!
Nicely done and helpful. Her voice were very clear and she spoke slow which made the tutorial easier to learn. Very claiming. I'm ready for my 1st Zoom meeting. Thank you
Glad it was helpful. Have fun with Zoom! :-)
Your video explanation is clear, informative, and straight to the point. Thanks Marcia. 😊😊😊
You are welcome!
Wow Marcia you are so Beautiful! I appreciate your gentle kindness and patience. Thank you so much for making this awsosme tutorial. We are moving our business online (like you say its a great way to stay connected during COVID) and have a few clients whom are anxious about these changes. I hope you don't mind that we use video tutorial to introduce them to zoom, and help ease their anxiety and realise they can do this! You rock!
Please do point anyone who could benefit to this video. Thanks!
Such a lovely, simple and helpful tutorial! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. I have never used zoom in my life!! Clear and to the point
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much Marcia, this was very helpful.
You are welcome!
Thank you. This is very helpful. I had my first Zoom.
Great! :-)
Thank you Marcia. I watched your Zoom video twice. With Covid19 uncertainties, I may have to do my teaching practice sessions remotely online and your tutorial has been very straightforward. My anxiety levels have dropped down. Thank you ever so much.
I'm glad you are feeling more comfortable! If you'll be hosting calls as well as joining them, I have other easy tutorials to help. :-)
I watched several other tutorials and didn't understand the process. You made it sound so simple. Thank you!
You're welcome!
You gave me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!

Marcia that was beautifully, and so simply explained and so easy to follow . Thanks Bill Griffith
Glad it was helpful!
Marsha, you are the best. Your explanation is calm and friendly and "just the facts." I have shared this with sooooo many of my friends who a little tech-shy. Thanks so much!
I'm glad the video helped you. Thank you for sharing it! I love "tech-shy" - perfect term. :-)
This is great - I have some clients who are tech-beginners and this makes Zoom accessible to them. You speak at a lovely pace and explain things in simple terms. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Alice, You're very welcome! :-)
This is most helpful video without too much talking . Thank Creative lives center
Glad it was helpful!
Marcia...Thank you for this excellent video. You were clear, you did not talk too fast and you explained everything so easily and simply!
Glad it was helpful!
Marcia, excellent video! We are using ZOOM with our special ed students thus I am familiar with the process. Your tutorial was spot on, slow enough to absorb and shouldn't produce overload for the new ZOOM user. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and THANK YOU!
You're very welcome!
Excellent, easy to understand, detailed video walking is through Zoom.. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
It's a lot easier than I thought thank you
Very clear instructions, Marcia -- thank you! I plan to share your video with several 70- and 80-somethings with whom I'll share a Zoom call in December.

I hope the Zoom meeting goes well for you! :-)
You offer such clear instructions, Marcia.

Great video. Short and easy to follow. Many thanks

@@ChadlyCreativeConsulting Oh, I'm loving it!
You explained everything exactly and clearly. You have excellent teaching skills. Thank you for your expertise. I learned navigate through the steps.
I hope you have fun with Zoom!
Thank you so much!!! Awesome explanation & very clear. I had no idea what to do with this new thing called Zoom and no one in my lab bothered to explain it although they all sounded familiar with it. It was confusing & scary but you are totally reassuring & thorough. I feel so much better about this now!
It doesn't take long at all to get comfortable with it. Have fun Zooming!
Hi Marcia! This is a very clear and helpful getting started vid for Zoom. Thank-you for taking the time to put this together. My current creative living project is that I want to get a laser etcher and design my own floor tiles for my office. I plan to cut 14 by 14 tiles out of 1/4 in wood sheeting. My design will be scaled to the room. The design will involve celtic knots. Best wishes.
Glad it was helpful! Have fun with your flooring.
uncomplicated and was easy to follow - patient lady! thank yoou
Hi Ali, You are welcome. I hope you enjoy using Zoom!
Hey this was a great piece. I am about to start my first webinar. I needed about 10 days to 2 weeks to get familiar with technology and payment process...so here I am. I loved your presentation. It was very simple and with ease and not intimidating. I'm ready to listen to it again and take notes. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this so clear and easy to understand. You have such wonderful positive energy. It just made me so comfortable learning I had to watch a couple of times. I may watch it again just to enjoy it for that reason. I'm 55 and learning is more of a challenge. Wish you could be my teacher in every class and life lesson I need to learn. And I'm not just trying to flatter you. If the world had your positive and peaceful personality what a great world it would be.
You are so welcome!
Woonderful I had to join my first Zoom meeting today. Thanks to your video I was able to attend with no problems.
That's great to hear!
WOW!!!! Amazing; Marcia, Thank you so very much. I will try this today; have a zoom at 1030 am. I enjoyed building my computer but I want to set up a new iMac pro. to join church services + teaching ASAP. Everyone needs a teacher like you; calm, reassuring, and caring.
I hope you have a fun adventure with everything!
Thanks Marcia, very useful & informative. Mike -York/UK
