First Ever Zoom Meeting

Roy

I’ve got to the age of 57 without ever doing a zoom meeting, this week saw my first ever meeting. I don’t think I will be doing another one.

I had to do a three hour speed awareness course online, the person hosting the course spoke to all nine participants privately, I told him I’m autistic and wanted to know if the other people will be able to see me and I them, I struggle with eye contact. Basically I just had to get on with it and there would only be a 10 minute break in the three hours.

The tech side of it took me a while to setup, after the three hours I was exhausted, I suppose it’s my fault for speeding, option B was three points and a £100 fine.
I don’t know how people do online meetings every day, sorry just venting.

    Yes same - very self conscious with camera on. 

    If I'm presenting in some meetings then I detach the video bar and drag off main screen onto another monitor - I find it helps me focus on listening + screen content
