?? STOP SAYING THIS: "I hear some background noise... um, if that's you, please mute yourself. I'm still hearing some background noise?" ??
?? DO THIS INSTEAD: Schedule Zoom meetings with the setting Mute Participants Upon Entry. No more audio surprises! ??
? Not sure how to do this? I created a step-by-step guide for scheduling meetings that covers this, plus setting up registration pages, polls, and more.
This guide is one of the bonus resources I created for my latest book, "Break Out of Boredom: Low-Tech Solutions for Highly Engaging Zoom Events."
?? You can access the free bonus resource library filled with checklists, step-by-step guides, 30+ videos, and more at BreakOutofBoredom.com.
In this video, I'll walk through what's included in the bonus resource library...
?????????? Hosting or speaking on Zoom? 220+ Amazon reviews urge you to read the book, where you can learn other tips like...
?? OPEN the Participants window when you are a host or co-host so you can quickly click Mute All when speaking or individually mute if you are not the one speaking.

Love this!! So true!
I maximize growth opportunities and transform customer engagement for all sizes and shapes of organizations.
1 年I do this for my classes and groups. I also keep the participant list open so I can see who is not on mute and just put them on mute if there isn't reason for them not to be. I tell groups at the start that I may put them on mute and not to take it personally, it's just increases everyone's experience and is my way of managing the Zoom for the optimal experience of all. So far, so good. I also think it's helpful to mention upfront that mute is the default if you're not speaking or in conversation.
