-
Join Before Host: Students can join the room before you arrive.
-
Mute on Entry: So you don't have to ask every time you start a meeting.

Waiting Room: Use this to ensure (by default) your one-on-one conversations (coaching, etc) remain private, and you aren't interrupted by anyone who might drop in to the room.

- Connect to your Google Calendar to show your schedule on the Zoom home screen.
- Consider using an additional monitor dedicated to the Zoom meeting room.
