5. Zoom Online Hosting
Using Zoom as a Constitution Coach: Start-to-Finish
(by Coach Support Team Rep: Giulia Giampa)
Part One: Creating your Zoom or Online Sharing Link
Many of our Constitution Coaches have friends across the nation they would like to invite to a class or local friends who, due to current conditions, aren’t comfortable or able to attend classes in-person. Of the current options, for hosting classes online, Zoom continues to be our recommended platform.
Part Two: Starting and Hosting a Zoom/Online Sharing Class
Please view the tutorial videos above for a start-to-finish walkthrough of what it looks like to setup and input your Zoom/Online Sharing link, start your class, share your screen with audio & video optimized, stop your screen share, and how to end your Zoom/Online meeting!
Quick note on ‘hybrid’ classes: Some coaches offer ‘hybrid’ classes with a mix of people attending in-person while others join via Zoom at the same time. While this option does involve the need for a bit more technical savvy, it is doable, especially with a little practice… though you’ll definitely want to practice! Speaking of…
Important: We highly recommend connecting with a friend or fellow coach to do a ‘dry run’ test of your set-up prior to your first class. This will help you to be more comfortable and confident and ensure your system/settings are correct for sharing your audio and video. Need a Coach Mentor? Click here to request one!
