Zoom已成为世界上最常用的在线通讯(online communication)工具之一，部分原因是其服务和应用程序质量上乘且易于使用，部分原因是如今许多人都在家中远程工作。如果您正在寻找一种可以让您与同事、朋友或家人保持联系的通信服务， (communication service)Zoom可能是您寻求的解决方案。为了帮助您更快地加入远程会议，我们认为向您展示如何在Zoom上主持会议是个好主意。因此，以下是在 Windows PC 或 Mac(PC or Mac)以及Android or iPhone/iPad上创建Zoom Meetings的方法：
注意：(NOTE:)要主持会议，您应该有一个活跃的Zoom帐户。如果您还没有并需要一些指导，请阅读创建Zoom Meetings 帐户(Zoom Meetings account)的 2 种方法。然后，阅读本指南的第一部分以了解如何从Windows PC或Mac主持(Mac)Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)，并阅读本教程的第二部分以了解如何在Android smartphone/tablet或 iPhone/iPad 上进行。
如何从Windows PC 或 Mac在 Zoom 上主持会议(Windows PC or Mac)
在您的 Windows PC 或 Mac(PC or Mac)上打开Zoom应用程序并使用您的(Zoom)Zoom 帐户(Zoom account)登录。然后，在Zoom 的(Zoom's)仪表板上，单击或点击(click or tap)新会议(New Meeting)按钮旁边的小向下箭头。
如果您想通过视频主持Zoom会议，请选中“从视频开始”选项。("Start with video.")然后，单击或点击新建会议(New Meeting)按钮。
注意：在(NOTE:)视频设置(video setting)下方，您还可以选中“使用我的个人会议 ID (PMI)”，("Use My Personal Meeting ID (PMI),")但仅当您打算与家人或密友创建个人Zoom会议时才应该这样做；(Zoom)不要将它用于办公室会议。您的“个人会议 ID (PMI)”("Personal Meeting ID (PMI)")是您的个人Zoom 会议室(meeting room)的链接，它仅供您永久使用。
Zoom随后会询问您是否要启用计算机或设备(computer or device)上的扬声器和麦克风。如果您希望加入Zoom会议的其他人听到您的声音，请单击或点击“使用计算机音频加入”。("Join with Computer Audio.")
在此步骤中，您还可以“测试扬声器和麦克风”("Test Speaker and Microphone")以确保一切设置正确。如果您不想在主持或加入的每个Zoom会议上确认是否要(Zoom)“使用计算机音频加入”("Join with Computer Audio") ，请选中底部的“加入会议时通过计算机自动加入音频”设置。("Automatically join audio by computer when joining a meeting")
如果在上一步中您选择测试扬声器和麦克风，Zoom允许您选择您喜欢使用的音频设备并在其上播放测试声音(test sound)。设置好所需的扬声器后，对“您听到铃声了吗？”回答("Do you hear a ringtone?")“是”。(Yes)题。
这同样适用于您的计算机或设备(computer or device)上的麦克风。选择您要使用的那个，测试它是否正常工作，然后对“说话并暂停，您听到重播吗？”回答("Speak and pause, do you hear a replay?")“是”。(Yes)题。
您选择的扬声器和麦克风将由Zoom用于您的会议。您可以单击或点击“使用计算机音频加入”("Join with Computer Audio")以开始Zoom会议。
当您创建的会议准备就绪时，您应该会看到Zoom 会议(Meeting)窗口。请注意，如果您没有在第一步启用视频设置，您的网络摄像头将不会显示实时视频，如下图所示。
好消息是您现在正在主持一次Zoom会议。另一个消息是你是会议中唯一的人。🙂因此，您可能想要添加人员：单击或点击(click or tap)Zoom Meeting窗口底部的邀请按钮。(Invite)
按下邀请(Invite)按钮会打开一个名为“邀请人们加入会议 [...]”("Invite people to join meeting [...]")的新窗口。在这里，Zoom提供了一系列不同的选项来邀请其他人参加您的会议。对于初学者，在“联系人(Contacts)”选项卡中，如果您之前使用过Zoom并将人员添加到您的联系人(Contacts)列表中，您可以选择要添加到会议中的人员，然后按“(meeting and press) 邀请(Invite)”向他们发送直接邀请。
通常，或者如果您更喜欢手动方法，您可以单击或点击复制 URL(Copy URL)按钮，然后通过电子邮件、 WhatsApp、Messenger或任何其他方式将复制的Zoom Meeting链接发送给您想要邀请的每个人。
同样，复制邀请(Copy Invitation)按钮会将预定义的邀请消息(invitation message)复制到剪贴板，然后您可以通过电子邮件或使用任何聊天应用程序将其发送给您想要加入Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)的人。
Zoom应用程序还允许您直接使用电子邮件服务向您想要参加会议的人发送邀请。在“邀请人们加入会议 [...]”("Invite people to join meeting [...]")窗口中，选择电子邮件(Email) 选项卡，然后单击(tab and click)或点击您要使用的电子邮件服务：(email service)默认电子邮件、Gmail(Default Email, Gmail)或Yahoo Mail。默认电子邮件(Default Email)按钮在您的计算机或设备上打开您的默认邮件(computer or device)应用程序(default mail app)，而Gmail和Yahoo Mail在您的默认网络浏览器中打开。
无论您选择使用哪种电子邮件服务(email service)，Zoom都会为您提供预定义的电子邮件(email message)，其中包含指向您正在主持的Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)的直接链接。
一旦受邀者接受加入您的Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)，Zoom应用程序就会向您显示他们的提要，您现在可以开始与他或她交谈。
要离开或结束Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)，您只需单击或点击Zoom窗口右下角的结束会议按钮。(End Meeting)
仅此而已！
如何通过Android device or iPhone/iPadZoom上主持会议(Zoom)
在Android 和 iOS(Android and iOS)中创建Zoom会议所需的步骤是相同的。在本节中，我们包括在Android 智能手机(Android smartphone)和 iPhone 上拍摄的屏幕截图。每个图像都包含左侧的Android 屏幕截图(Android screenshot)和右侧的 iPhone 的相应屏幕截图。
要在Zoom(Zoom)上召开会议，您要做的第一件事就是在移动设备上打开Zoom应用程序。然后，点击屏幕顶部的新会议(New Meeting)按钮。
这将打开一个名为“开始会议”的新屏幕。("Start a Meeting.")在其上，选择是否要启用视频，以便会议中的其他人可以看到您。如果您打算与家人或非常亲密的朋友创建个人Zoom会议，请选中“使用我的个人会议 ID (PMI)” 。("Use My Personal Meeting ID (PMI),")但是，不要为办公室会议启用此选项，因为您的“个人会议 ID (PMI)”("Personal Meeting ID (PMI)")是您的个人Zoom会议室(meeting room)。选择所需选项后，点击“开始会议”。("Start a Meeting.")
接下来，Android和 iOS都请求访问(request access)您的智能手机或平板电脑的摄像头(smartphone or tablet camera)、麦克风和存储空间。要享受Zoom的所有功能并让它正常运行，请授予它所需的所有权限。
如果您已经开始了视频Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)，您现在应该会看到Zoom 的(Zoom's)界面以及您自己。🙂 因为您已经创建了一个会议并且您是主持人，接下来，您可能想要添加一些人。点击屏幕底部的参与者(Participants)以继续。
这会加载一个名为Participants的屏幕。在它上面，点击底部的邀请(Invite)按钮。
然后，Zoom为您提供各种邀请人们参加会议的选项。有许多选项可供选择，它们取决于您使用的是Android 设备(Android device)还是 iPhone/iPad，以及移动设备上安装的应用程序。在可用的邀请方法中，您应该看到诸如电子邮件、( SMS ) 文本消息、聊天应用程序 ( Facebook Messenger ) 和复制 URL(Copy URL)等选项。选择您喜欢向他人发送邀请消息的方法。
例如，如果您在 Android 智能手机上选择Gmail ，或在 iPhone 上选择发送电子邮件，则会打开手机上的(Send Email)默认邮件应用程序(default mail app)，Zoom会在其中自动创建包含指向您的Zoom 会议链接的预定义(Zoom Meeting)电子邮件(email message)。您所要做的就是在“收件人”(To)字段中填写您想要参加会议的人员。
一旦人们开始接受你的邀请，他们就会出现在Zoom应用程序中，你就可以开始互相交谈了。
当您想要结束正在主持的Zoom 会议(Zoom Meeting)时，请点击屏幕右上角的结束按钮。(End)
而已！

2 ways to host meetings on Zoom
Zoom has become one of the most used online communication tools in the world, partly because its services and apps are of excellent quality and easy to use, partly because many people are working remotely from their homes these days. If you're looking for a communication service that lets you keep in touch with your colleagues, friends, or family, Zoom might be the solution you seek. To help you jump faster onto the remote meetings wagon, we thought it would be a good idea to show you how to host meetings on Zoom. So, here's how to create Zoom Meetings on your Windows PC or Mac, as well as on Android or iPhone/iPad:
NOTE: To host a meeting, you should have an active Zoom account. If you don't have one and want some guidance, read 2 ways to create a Zoom Meetings account. Then, read the first section of this guide to learn how to host a Zoom Meeting from a Windows PC or a Mac, and the second section of the tutorial to learn how to do it on an Android smartphone/tablet or an iPhone/iPad.
How to host a meeting on Zoom from a Windows PC or Mac
Open the Zoom app on your Windows PC or Mac and sign in with your Zoom account. Then, on Zoom's dashboard, click or tap on the small downward arrow next to the New Meeting button.
If you want to host a Zoom meeting with video, check the option "Start with video." Then, click or tap the New Meeting button.
NOTE: Right under the video setting, you can also check the "Use My Personal Meeting ID (PMI)," but you should do that only if you intend to create a personal Zoom meeting with your family or close friends; don't use it for office meetings. Your "Personal Meeting ID (PMI)" is the link to your personal Zoom meeting room, and it is reserved for you only, permanently.
Zoom then asks whether you want to enable the speakers and microphone on your computer or device. If you want to be heard by the other people joining your Zoom meeting, click or tap on "Join with Computer Audio."
During this step, you can also "Test Speaker and Microphone" to make sure that everything is set correctly. If you don't want to have to confirm that you want to "Join with Computer Audio" every Zoom meeting that you host or join, check the "Automatically join audio by computer when joining a meeting" setting at the bottom.
If, during the previous step, you chose to test the speaker and the microphone, Zoom lets you select the audio device that you prefer to use and plays a test sound on it. After you've set the speakers you want, answer Yes to the "Do you hear a ringtone?" question.
The same applies to the microphones on your computer or device. Select the one that you want to use, test if it works correctly, and then answer Yes to the "Speak and pause, do you hear a replay?" question.
The speakers and microphone you selected are used by Zoom for your meeting. You can click or tap on "Join with Computer Audio" to start the Zoom meeting.
When the meeting you created is ready, you should see the Zoom Meeting window. Note that, if you didn't enable the video setting at the first step, your webcam doesn't display live video, as seen in the next screenshot.
The good news is that you are now hosting a Zoom meeting. The other news is that you are the only one in the meeting. 🙂 So, you might want to add people: click or tap on the Invite button from the bottom of the Zoom Meeting window.
Pushing the Invite button opens a new window called "Invite people to join meeting [...]". Here, Zoom gives a series of different options for inviting other people to your meeting. For starters, in the Contacts tab, if you used Zoom before and added people to your Contacts list, you can select the ones that you want to add to the meeting and press Invite to send them direct invitations.
More often than not, or if you prefer a more manual method, you can click or tap the Copy URL button, then send the copied Zoom Meeting link to everyone you want to invite via email, WhatsApp, Messenger, or any other means.
Similarly, the Copy Invitation button copies a predefined invitation message to your clipboard, which you can then send via email or using any chat app to the ones you want to join your Zoom Meeting.
The Zoom app also lets you use email services directly for sending invitations to the people you want in your meeting. In the "Invite people to join meeting [...]" window, select the Email tab and click or tap on the email service you want to use: Default Email, Gmail, or Yahoo Mail. The Default Email button opens your default mail app on your computer or device, while Gmail and Yahoo Mail open in your default web browser.
Regardless of the email service that you chose to use, Zoom gives you a predefined email message containing the direct link to the Zoom Meeting that you're hosting.
Once an invitee accepts to join your Zoom Meeting, the Zoom app shows you their feed, and you can now start talking to him or her.
To leave or end a Zoom Meeting, all you have to do is click or tap on the End Meeting button from the bottom-right corner of the Zoom window.
And that was all!
How to host a meeting on Zoom from an Android device or iPhone/iPad
The steps required to create a Zoom meeting are identical in Android and iOS. In this section, we include screenshots taken on an Android smartphone as well as on an iPhone. Each image contains the Android screenshot on the left and its corresponding screenshot from the iPhone on the right.
To host a meeting on Zoom, the first thing you have to do is open the Zoom app on your mobile device. Then, tap on the New Meeting button from the top of the screen.
This opens a new screen called "Start a Meeting." On it, choose whether you want to enable the video so that the other people in the meeting can see you. Check the "Use My Personal Meeting ID (PMI)," if you intend to create a personal Zoom meeting with your family or very close friends. However, don't enable this option for office meetings, because your "Personal Meeting ID (PMI)" is your personal Zoom meeting room. Once you've selected the options you want, tap on "Start a Meeting."
Next, both Android and iOS request access to your smartphone or tablet camera, microphone, and storage. To enjoy all the features in Zoom and let it run as it should, give it all the permissions it requires.
If you've started a video Zoom Meeting, you should now see Zoom's interface, as well as yourself. 🙂 Because you've created a meeting and you're the host, next, you're probably going to want to add some people to it. Tap on Participants on the bottom of the screen to continue.
This loads a screen called Participants. On it, tap the Invite button from the bottom.
Then, Zoom offers you various options for inviting people to your meeting. There are many options to choose from, and they depend on whether you're using an Android device or an iPhone/iPad, as well as on the apps installed on your mobile device. Among the invitation methods available, you should see options such as email, (SMS) text messages, chat apps (Facebook Messenger), and Copy URL. Choose the method you prefer to send invitation messages to people.
For example, if you choose Gmail on an Android smartphone, or Send Email on an iPhone, the default mail app on your phone opens up and, in it, Zoom automatically creates a predefined email message that contains the link to your Zoom Meeting. All you have to do is fill the To field with the people you want in the meeting.
Once people start accepting your invitation, they appear in the Zoom app, and you can start talking to each other.
When you want to end the Zoom Meeting that you're hosting, tap the End button from the top-right corner of the screen.
That's it!
Things to consider about hosting Zoom Meetings
There are a couple of questions we received from our readers, and we'd like to answer them so that you have a good understanding of what Zoom offers:
How much does it cost to host Zoom Meetings?
Hosting Zoom Meetings is free and is included in the Basic Plan that doesn't cost any money. If you're creating a Zoom Meeting with just two people (you and another one), the meeting has no time limit. However, if the Zoom Meeting that you're hosting has three or more people attending, there's a limit of 40 minutes per meeting (to get over this limitation, you need to subscribe to a paid Zoom plan).
Can you host 2 meetings on Zoom at the same time?
No, you cannot host two or more simultaneous meetings on Zoom. More information here: Can I host Concurrent Meetings?
Can I join multiple meetings on Zoom, simultaneously?
Yes, you can join two or more Zoom meetings running at the same, but only if the following conditions are met:
- You have a Business, Enterprise, or Education account
- Enabled by Zoom Support
- Zoom Desktop Client for Windows 4.1.27348.0625 or later
- Zoom Desktop Client for Mac 4.4.522551.0414 or later
For more details, check the Join Multiple Meetings Simultaneously on Desktop webpage from Zoom's Help Center.
Do you host Zoom Meetings for work or to get in touch with your family and friends?
