Zoom Meeting Controls and Attendee Features

Zoom offers a range of features designed to enhance meeting participation and optimize the user experience. These features include options to manage distractions and prioritize safety.

Focus Mode

Zoom's Focus Mode allows users to minimize visual distractions during a meeting. This feature can be activated or deactivated by the host or individual participants (depending on meeting settings). In Focus Mode, participant video is minimized or completely hidden to allow for greater concentration on the meeting content and speaker.

Meeting Controls and Settings

Meeting controls are accessed through the Zoom interface, typically located at the bottom or top of the screen. These controls provide options to manage participant video and audio, screen sharing, chat, recording, and other functions. Hosts have the ability to manage settings for individual participants, enabling or disabling specific features as needed. Participants' options may be limited by the host's settings.

Managing Participant Interactions

Hosts can manage participant interactions to ensure a smooth and productive meeting. This includes the ability to mute, unmute, and remove participants. Furthermore, hosts can enable or disable chat, screen sharing, and other features for individual participants or the entire meeting.

Accessibility Options

Zoom provides accessibility options to cater to diverse user needs. These options can include closed captions, transcription, and other assistive technologies to enhance participation and comprehension during meetings.
