  • Marcia Chadley does a really nice job explaining Zoom. She walks you through it, anticipates your questions, and gives plenty of detail while making it easy to understand. I also listened to her video on Zoom breakout rooms which was also very helpful and enjoyable.
  • @mimmom6081
    I have been a participant in millions of zoom meetings but never hosted one before. This was a concise, informative video that gave me the confidence to host a meeting without issues. Thanks.
  • Very clear and concise! Thank you, Marcia! You are a master teacher!
  • @AnxietDee
    I've been viewing tutorials all morning, and you are the first person who has been clear and concise. I love your entire vibe! xoxoxo
  • @daviddeed100
    Marcia, you do a great job here of explaining Zoom to beginners, going steadily and not rushing through everything like other presenters who act as if they have a train to catch. Congratulations for that just by itself. I guess that's why you have over three thousand 'thumbs-up' and no 'thumbs-down'. Well done. You are a great example.
  • @jimmcdonald5788
    Beautifully paced, comprehensive explanation of the Zoom process. Thx.
  • @edwinsoler1564
    I watched this video literally 5 minutes before my first ever ZOOM call with two clients. It worked perfectly!!! Such an awesome tutorial! Thanks so much!!!
  • @mariekearns8304
    These zoom videos from Marcia Chadley are wonderful! I recently volunteered to moderate a zoom meeting having absolutely no idea of how to go about it. I found these videos, which break things down into concise and manageable topics. I set it up, invited people and moderated the meeting, and it came off quite well! Thank you, Marcia!
  • Thanks for the updated video. Easy to follow. You explain things very thoroughly--especially for beginners.
  • @mandyzines
    You are so good at teaching. The information is presented at the perfect pace, you stay on track, and anticipate what could possibly happen within a meeting. It's great!
  • @samgeorge2703
    Hi Marcia: Just had my first Zoom Mediation today: Thanks to you all went very well. You really have the best tutorials on how to zoom effectively. Thank you for all your help! Best regards: Sam
  • @mzkiyah319
    Thank you for this video. I am confident on hosting my first Zoom now
  • Thank you Marcia for unraveling the mystery of using the different apps and their functions! I missed two Zoom meetings embarrassingly because I had only joined as a participant and never actually hosted one! I have my first meeting this morning as a host, I feel very confident that I have everything set up properly and that there will be no issues! Many many thanks to you!
  • @rmeurant
    Again, excellent pace of delivery, thank you.
  • Greetings from the UK. Thanks for this really clear and helpful tutorial. I've been using zoom as a guest but suddenly have to start hosting, so this has been great.
  • @Iheart2cook
    Super helpful. Straight to the point. I like that you saved the bells and whistles till the end. Thank you so much and God bless <3
  • Thank you for this helpful video at a pace where I could really follow easily!
  • Your blog is comprehensive and clear because aside from your oral presentation, it is matched with written explanation on every step. Those are very helpful for a beginner like me.Thank you so much .
  • thanx so much marcia. you are a patient and great teacher. i have used zoom to learn a music class. but now, i am going to to be hosting a music group for the first time so this is perfect. i am learning step by step how to do it.
  • @Learn2Paint
    Marcia, Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and time! You made the process seem very simplistic, easy to understand and navigate! Now I'm off to my first zoom class, wish me luck.
