The Old and New in Zoom — October 2026 — Mike Emery

About this meeting

Mike Emery tours Zoom’s growing collection of collaboration and AI tools before turning to practical meeting skills. He demonstrates account switching, updates, joining by link or meeting ID, audio and video settings, virtual and AI-generated backgrounds, and screen sharing with sound. The session also covers recording, participant names, gallery and multi-speaker views, chat and host controls. Member questions explore why features differ between accounts and how waiting rooms and recognizable names help hosts manage access.
