Zoom courses: Conduct professional webinars thanks to the right training

Webinars have probably never been as topical as they are these days. For some, this form of course is already part of everyday life in the age of the internet, while others are now facing the challenge of teaching seminar and course participants in this format for the first time. Lecturers now have to design Zoom courses, sports instructors are inspiring their sports enthusiasts with Zoom training and business coaches have switched to Zoom coaching.

Video conferencing saves both time and money and some companies, coaches, consultants and lecturers are already well practiced in presenting content to a large and even international audience with virtually no loss of time. However, it is also becoming increasingly common for video conferencing tools to be used without due consideration. Some lecturers fall into the trap of thinking that they can simply use a presentation they have already created for face-to-face teaching in a webinar. Only superficial knowledge of the Zoom tool leads to technical complications or confusion on all sides. These are the main reasons why webinars, video coaching and online training do not achieve the desired goal. Without the necessary know-how, they are dull, intrusive or simply irrelevant.

A professionally conducted webinar inspires and fascinates all participants and keeps them glued to the screen. There is a relaxed and positive atmosphere and participants forget that they are sitting alone in front of the screen at home.

One thing is certain: when training or consulting and coaching via the screen, those responsible have to consider completely different and new aspects. This is the only way to make a video training course or conference a success.

Are you now also required to teach, coach or advise online and need support in familiarizing yourself with the Zoom Communication Tool? Then we recommend that you complete a Zoom training course. Get to know the advantages of this new technology and learn how to design an exciting presentation for the Zoom training. Learn the rules in Zoom coaching - from preparation and the actual use of the technology to recording and post-processing - so that your webinars are a success.

Further information about Zoom courses can be found on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch - the largest Swiss education portal. Contact the training providers directly online and order free and non-binding information documents.

Questions and answers

In order to participate in a Zoom meeting, an invitation with a corresponding access link or the meeting ID as well as the identification code is required. This is sent by the host, i.e. the person who has planned the meeting. It is common to participate via the Zoom app with or without registration. However, it is also possible to join a Zoom meeting via the web browser or by telephone.

Regardless of whether you offer or conduct a webinar independently via Zoom or, for example, take part in a Zoom training course in the role of a participant, you always need a Zoom training course:

  • a good and stable internet connection
  • a computer or other mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet
  • the Zoom invitation with the corresponding access link or login data with the meeting ID and the identification code
  • for the host/organizer: a Zoom account for creating a meeting

A Zoom account is required to set up a Zoom meeting. To do this, you must register on the Zoom website with the relevant personal details. In the user account, meetings or courses and meetings can then be planned, prepared, timed, edited, listed and deleted. The invitation required for a Zoom meeting with the respective access link or meeting ID and identification code can also be copied to the clipboard here and then sent to the participants via e-mail, for example. Recorded meetings are also saved and listed in the user account.

Zoom is particularly popular because of its simple user interface and good sound and image quality. There are two sides to the use of the tool: On the one hand, there is the so-called host, i.e. the organizer, who plans the meeting via his Zoom account, and on the other hand, there are the participants, or viewers, who take part in such a virtual meeting.

Depending on the version, different functions are available. Here is a selection:

  • Duration: The free Zoom version limits group calls to 40 minutes. One-to-one calls are unlimited in time.
  • Number of participants: Up to 100 participants can be hosted in the free version.
  • Chat function: Messages can be sent to all or directly to individual participants in a meeting using the chat function.
  • Share your screen: Screen sharing allows you to share your own screen. All participants can then see your screen.
  • Breakout sessions: This function makes it possible to create virtual group rooms. For example, in a Zoom course with a total of 10 participants, five separate sessions with two people each can be defined. The allocation of people to the separate groups is carried out by the host and can take place either automatically or manually.
  • Reactions: Meeting participants have the option of using emojis, such as the "thumbs up" or "raise hand" gesture, to let us know what they think.
  • Recordings: Zoom meetings can also be recorded if required. Please explicitly inform participants of this in advance and explain what the recordings will be used for later. Unauthorized image and sound recordings can be prosecuted and punished.
  • Trainers, vocational trainers, teachers, lecturers, pupils or students who would like to familiarize themselves with the tool or still feel unsure about using it
  • Generally interested people who would like to get to know Zoom
  • People who already work with Zoom and now want to continue their professional training
  • People who are looking for ideas, inspiration or examples for the use and application of the tool, for example in online teaching or hybrid teaching
  • Companies and their employees and managers, so that virtual meetings can also be held efficiently

Zoom training not only teaches the basic functions of the tool, but also provides numerous tips and tricks on how the tool can be used and applied in different situations.

Individual questions, problems or situations can be addressed in a personal exchange with the lecturer or the other participants and practiced directly by using the tool.

With the invitation to the Zoom meeting previously sent by the host and the access data via link or meeting ID and identification code, it is possible to join the corresponding virtual session at any time. Provided that the meeting has already started, i.e. is currently taking place and has not yet ended.

The English term "zoom" actually describes a process by which an object is moved closer to or further away from the viewer.

Since the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, however, the term "Zoom" has also been on everyone's lips in a different context: Namely as an application for video conferencing software.

Companies and private individuals use the tool to meet virtually via audio and/or video and communicate online via chat. Numerous schools and universities also rely on the tool for online lessons and webinars.

Zoom is a US software company that was founded in 2011 and has grown steadily since then. The Covid-19 pandemic led to further significant growth from around 10 million monthly users to over 200 million users per month. Data protection and security deficiencies initially led to major criticism, but these were rectified with corresponding software updates. At the same time, additional functions were added to the free version.
