These images should help iPhone users with 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 images are from a phone signed in to a meeting as a student.
NEW: Instructions for screen sharing to show images or videos to others (if instructor allows). See bottom of page.

Compared to a computer or iPad, Zoom has fewer functions on iPhone, but enough for class attendance and participation.

Screen Images and Guides to Functions for iPhone Students on Zoom
General Note: Zoom controls on all screens disappear a few seconds after you last touch the screen. Touch anywhere to bring them back. If you want them on all the time (I like it that way), see bottom of this page, "Always Show Meeting Controls".
1) Main Zoom Screen
Zoom Screen After Choosing "more"
Menu options, top to bottom
• give a visible "reaction" to a comment or image (applause or approval)
• send chat message to another student, the instructor, or all (use with discretion)

• make meeting image smaller
• change your background in your screen image to a photo (not always as pretty as you might hope)
• raise your hand to get instructor's attention (wait to speak until called on)

Somewhat Advanced: Sharing Content (i.e., showing pictures or videos to other attendees)
Steps for showing screen content from your iPhone to all attendees of a meeting.
1) You must be Host or Co-Host of the meeting. If you are not, ask the Host to make you Co-Host.
Beware: If they carelessly make you a Host, you may become drunk with power.
2) At the bottom of your iPhone screen, touch the green button: Share Content.
3) From the menu that pops up, select Screen. (Selecting Photos is more complicated and limited -- you might not be able to find all photos, especially photo albums synched over from your computer.)
4) On the next menu, touch Screen Broadcast; then touch Start Broadcast.
4) Finally, swipe the Screen Broadcast screen upward to dismiss it (Careful: a simple touch cancels the attempt to share.), and your phone will appear to be in normal operation, but --
5) Anything you display on your iPhone screen will now be shared with meeting attendees. So watch it.
Navigate to what you want to show as you normally would when using your phone (you know: swipe, swear, touch, swear, find, sigh and smile). If you want to show photos, simply open your iPhone Photos app, navigate to the album containing the photos you want to share, and then browse them just as you would when looking at photos yourself. Navigating will be choppy, so make a move and patiently wait for it to happen. Images on the screens of your audience are larger if you turn phone on its side.
6) To end the screen broadcast, touch the red or green digital clock in the top left corner. Then swipe up to find Zoom again. If the Screen Broadcast screen is still showing, touch it anywhere to dismiss it.
Happy sharing.
