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

Instructions on setting up zoom meetings with multiple presenters

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.
