The Ultimate Zoom Cookbook

5 (6)
By: Patrick Kelley

Overview of this book

The last few years have completely changed the way we collaborate and communicate. Whether it’s internally with coworkers at a large enterprise or externally with prospective clients and customers, Zoom has created a new way to interact with people in real-time as well as asynchronously. This cookbook delves into all aspects of Zoom, moving beyond just meetings. You’ll get started by exploring key areas such as audio, video, chat, webinars, advanced reporting, and analytics. Next, you’ll progress from discovering simple Zoom video and audio calls to understanding features such as whiteboards, hardware integration, and phone capabilities. Gradually, you'll discover advanced techniques for effective content presentation, while configuring users and features from the admin portal. The last set of chapters cover advanced features on security and privacy as well as how to make the most of AI Companion to reach out to your audience with better content, clarity, and expertise. By the end of this Zoom book, you’ll be well-versed with the entire Zoom app and all the modalities available.

Using Phone Assistant

You can certainly use the full Zoom client to place and receive calls, but Zoom includes a Zoom Phone Assistant tool as well. This is a small form-factor phone client that includes most of the functionality of Zoom Phone, just in a widget-type application. This allows you to stay focused on a particular application without having the bigger screen real estate of the Zoom Phone client take over. For example, I might be on a call discussing the details of a large spreadsheet. I want to use my full screen for my Excel file and not have the Zoom Phone client taking over the desktop. I can easily use Zoom Phone Assistant and move it out of the way but still have most of my call functionality easily available.

How to do it…

  1. From your Zoom client, go to Settings, and then make sure you are in the General tab.
  2. Scroll down until you see the Zoom Assistant tab. Toggle in on.
