Zoom -- Multiple Presenters on Multiple PC's in Same Room

If you are using the Zoom virtual video conferencing web service...
If you have multiple presenters with multiple laptops or computers...

FIRST: Set-up Zoom on a moderator or tech person’s laptop.

  • That is the Host Zoom session.

SECOND: Set-up Zoom on each presenters laptop before the meeting.

  • Do not connect to audio on the presenter laptops.
  • Do not make the presenter a Host.
  • For quick Zoom set-up:
    Visit https://zoom.us on their laptop.
    Click “Join Meeting.”
    Enter the “Meeting ID."
    See link below for how to get Meeting ID during a meeting easily.

  • For a Meeting ID, look at:
    The Zoom meeting information that was sent to you.
    The last numbers in the Zoom meeting link.
    Those numbers are the Meeting ID.
    The numbers at the top of a Zoom window on another computer already joined everywhere.
  • When a presenter steps up to the podium,
    enable full screen sharing on the presenter’s laptop.
  • When a presenter finishes,
    stop screen sharing there.
  • When a new presenter steps up to the podium,
    enable full screen sharing on the new presenter’s laptop.
  • Repeat the above as needed.
  • You can do the same in a completely online Zoom meeting.
    Except there’s no podium.
    Replace “steps up to the podium” above with “starts to present” above.
