Any tutorial you find about Zoom will be talking about features you probably don’t care about beyond that.

There’s nothing else to it for beginners. If there is a scheduled zoom event hosted by some group or organization, you would know only because you are already a part of that group or organization, and you just just click the URL to join, and you would be in the meeting. It’s not designed for nor intended for meeting new people, meeting people with similar interests, or anything like that.

If you mean “meet new friends”, then that’s just not what Zoom is made for. I would like to participate in a meeting for Zoom beginners. I have posted about 40 videos on YouTube – mostly in Russian. I am trying to learn Zoom in order to meet friends and escape Loneliness. You don’t interact with other participants, and mostly you’re just watching a presentation, but if they allow it, you can ask moderated questions.)Īre you looking for a Zoom meeting where people talk about Zoom? Or a meeting where people are just hanging out? Or something else? It isn’t fully clear to me. (Webinars are very different from a typical Zoom meeting. There are probably some public webinars offered by universities or the like, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for. Zoom does have a “webinar” feature, but again that will usually be private. Rather, it’s like a conference call, and conference calls are scheduled between people who will participate. It’s not like Twitch or YouTube live streaming or chat rooms or IRC or whatnot, if you are familiar with any of those. The typical usage is where folks schedule private virtual meeting that colleagues, friends, or other pre-associated people organize for themselves for some set purpose.

CCitizen, can you clarify what you are looking for? Zoom is a communication tool, and while it has scheduling and invitation features, it is not like social media or a public interaction space.
