 +=== How do Video Calls Work? ===
 +
 +<WRAP round tip>
 +To join in you may need to add a headset with microphone and optionally a camera to your device, if they are not built in. You will receive a link which will get you into the meeting, automatically installing Zoom on your device if necessary.
 +
 +Calls are scheduled and topics announced in advance.
 +
 +Zoom provides thumbnails of each video participant and any shared presentations or desktops. The call host facilitates the meeting/questions/discussion. Zoom has developed a lot during Covid and I can't describe all the features here. 
 +
 +Usually everyone mutes their microphone to avoid a lot of noise from phones, clocks chiming, family activity etc. To speak you can just press the spacebar to (after a slight pause) temporarily unmute.
 +
 +You can select among several icons to, for example raise a hand, clap, agree, vote etc. Useful for questioning.
 +
 +You can also type "chat" either with everyone or with a selected participant. This is quite a good way to have a one-to-one conversation without involving/annoying everyone else. It can also be used to distribute weblinks etc although there are many other ways to "share" (with permission) screens, documents, open apps, whiteboard and so on. 
 +
 +If you would like to try out Zoom, then there is a test meeting service where you are the only participant and you can experiment with the various options available.
