Webex and Zoom


On a Webex meeting of Toastmasters International one of the speakers gave a ten minute presentation about how to use Webex. The main points I picked up from the speaker were:

HOSTS
1 Always have two 'hosts'.

LEAVING VERSUS ENDING
2 If you leave a meeting early, click on leave meeting. That means you leave the meeting. Don't move your mouse over end meeting and click because that ends the meeting for everybody. I'm sure a few people have done that.

Why don't the signs clarify more detail about ending, like the delete buttons on WhatsApp. They offer specific choices. They say 'delete for me' or 'delete for everybody'.

The online functions could offer a similar choice. For example: 'Leave meeting for me.' or 'End meeting for everybody'.

DRAWING ON WHITEBOARDS
In a real in office meeting you can use a whiteboard to brain storm and list suggestions or mind map then linking them with arrows or circles. Different people can draw on the communal whiteboard. Does an online meeting offer such a possibility?

The speaker demonstrated this using notes on a white background, share screen, and the paintbrush.

CHECK UPDATES
I might have got something wrong. The speaker could have got something wrong. By the time you read this sthe system could have changed. (So check online.) But these notes gives you a clue what to watch out for.
