Zoom: Recording a Presentation in Zoom

Introduction

Looking for a way Zoom participants can collaborate in a shared space at the same time? Zoom has a whiteboard feature that supports participants visualizing ideas together! Blank whiteboards can be created during a meeting, or users are able to pre-create whiteboards to open and share later. There are also 18 optional and modifiable templates ranging from designs supporting icebreakers, mapping, graphs, brainstorming, games, and planning.

Recording a presentation

  1. On the day and time of the meeting, click on that link and it should prompt you to open Zoom in a Pop-Up or something similar. Allow Zoom to Open.
  2. Once the Zoom window opens and your group members are present, decide who will share their screen and control the presentation as the presentation leader. 
  3. Once you have decided, have the leader share their screen.
  4. On the bottom of the Zoom window, click the green Share Screen button.
  5. In the window that appears, I advise you to share Screen 1 as this shares your entire screen.

  7. Have the leader click the Record button when you're all ready to present
