Free Audiobook Resource for Learning the Zoom Platform

 

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, Jonathan Mosen has made his audiobook Meet Me in the Cloud freely available. This tutorial, which takes approximately

three hours, walks through all aspects of the popular conferencing platform, from joining your first meeting, to hosting a meeting, to the differences

between Basic and Pro accounts. Mosen’s book is thorough and accessible to all, regardless of technical background or proficiency. Note that at the time

these recordings were made, several instances of accessibility glitches needed to be pointed out, however with current operating systems, and the latest

versions of the Zoom conferencing software, most bugs have been resolved. In addition, Zoom has kept the labeling of commands and options, as well as their

keyboard conventions consistent, meaning that none of the substance has altered from the time these recordings were produced. We believe this will be a

useful resource, especially in this time of social distancing and greater adoption of teleconferencing. The book can be obtained free of charge from Jonathan Mosen's Website.
