iPad User Guide to Zoom

iPad Screen Captures of Zoom In Action

These images should help iPad owners using Zoom in distance-learning courses or other activities. The page is aimed primarily at students; teachers may not find all host functions presented here. These are host images, so some menu functions may be missing from students' menus.

3) Zoom Tips, a very complete, illustrated Zoom Reference, in easy, bite-size, chewable chunks. Everything you need to know, and very easy to find your way around.

NOTE: I do not have an iPad, so you might find errors. Please send corrections and suggestions to the email address on this page, lower right, so I can fix them. Thanks to my OLLI colleague, Steve Schiffman, for the images.

On Safari, Reader View will give you a view that you can print, with one screen image per page.


Screen Images and Guides to Functions for iPad Students on Zoom

General Note: Zoom controls disappear a few seconds after you last touch the screen. Touch anywhere to bring them back.

1) Overview, showing buttons to mute/unmute your microphone, and to show/unshow your video. Your meeting ID and password is at the top. The little blue camera icon switches between the front- and rear-facing cameras on your iPad. To change the view from portrait (tall) to landscape (wide), rotate your iPad.


2) How to raise your (digital) hand. Click "Participants", and find "Raise your hand" at bottom of participant list (it might not be exactly where shown). You might also find "Raise Hand" on your thumbnail image if you touch it.


3) Speaker View. Lower blue symbol at left switches to Gallery View. In Speaker View, the person currently speaking fills your screen, and others (or some of them) are in small windows. This control affects your view only, not that of other students.


4) Gallery View. Lower blue button on left switches back to Speaker View. A colored frame draws your attention to the person currently speaking.  This control affects your view only, not that of other students.


5) Screen sharing (if allowed by host). Click Screen Share to pick what you want your classmates to see. 


6) Click ••• or "More" at top right to display your personal "reactions" to what you have just seen or heard, or to enter Chat and send sneaky text messages to individuals or the whole class. Use with discretion. Meeting Settings include the very handy "Always show meeting controls," which keeps controls showing all the time, instead of disappearing soon after your last touch.
