Okay, and I hit that OK button. I'm going to press OK on this minimize meeting. Now I'm officially in the meeting. I'm going to arrow up to the top and I'm going to arrow down through these settings real quick so you can hear what they are. We want to know how we can mute and unmute ourselves, how we can toggle on and off our video if we need to, how we can raise our hand, how we can leave a meeting and how you can minimize the volume of the meeting as well. Audio sources speakerphone.
Audio sources speakerphone. This setting right here, when you first enter into a meeting, the person's going to be loud and it's going to be blasting through your speakerphone. Now, there's no way to adjust the volume using those side buttons on the left side of the phone. All those buttons do is just adjust the volume of the screen reader on the blind shell. But when we're on the speakerphone setting. Audio sources speakerphone.
I can actually press OK on this audio sources earphone and it'll change it off a speakerphone to audio sources earphone. This way you'll be able to hold the blind shell up to your ear. Now, it'll still kind of be loud, but it won't be as loud as if it was blasting through the speaker. So this is kind of like a workaround how we can kind of minimize the sound a little bit. So I'm going to press the OK button to toggle the speakerphone back on. Audio source is speakerphone.
I'm going down bar to the next setting. Zoom meeting information. Leave audio unmute. Unmute my audio button 1 of 10. Okay, here goes the unmute setting. Now, if I press OK on this, my phone's going to make a beep sound and you hear myself on mute. And you'll probably hear feedback coming through the mic on the zoom Call that I'm in. I'm going to press OK. Unmute my. Audio button 1 of 10. Hello, mute my audio button 1 of 10. Okay, I just muted back real quick.
Start video. Start my video button 2 of 10. Here goes the start video setting. Now usually when you come into these meetings, the videos are turned off by default. If I press the OK button on. That start my video button 2 of 10. Then I press the repeat button. Stop my video button 2 of 10. See, now it says stop video. When it says stop video, that means the video is on. Now if I want to turn it off, I just press OK again, stop. My video button 2 of 10.
I press the repeat button to see what the status is at Start video. Start my video button 2 of 10. And see it's back on start video. So that means it's turned off when it says start video. 2 participants, 2 participants button 3 of 10. This will let me know how many participants are in the meeting. Chat chat button 4 of 10. There goes chat reactions, reactions button 5 of 10.
And here goes the reaction button. This is what we want to go to when you want to raise your hand. So I'm going to press OK on that. So now when you press the reaction button, make sure you up bar back up to the top of the screen. And then when you press the down bar through the settings split screen divider. Reaction raise hand button, there goes the. Raise hand right there. So I'm going to press OK on that. Adrian Stewart.
It said agent raised hand. Then go back up to the top. Minimize meeting and you gotta make sure you arrow back down to audio sources. Speakerphone zoom Leave unmute. Unmute my audio button 1 of 10.

I'm going to go back to the top and I want to go back to the speakerphone setting real quick. I'm going down bar. Minimize meeting audio sources speakerphone.
When this is on speakerphone and you unmute yourself, make sure you have your phone away from you a little bit away from your mouth because if you don't, you'll sound distorted on your end and we will hear you sounding distorted. If you take this off a speakerphone, I'm going to press OK audio sources earphone and it says audio sources earphone. Then this way you can hold the phone up to your ear and then you'll still sound clear and you won't sound distorted. So the last thing I'm about to show is how you can leave this meeting. I'm going to go back up to the top. I'm going to hit down bar, minimize.
Meeting audio sources, speakerphone zoom leave.
There you go right there. So I'm going to press OK on that and you heard agent has left the meeting. You can just press the back button join a meeting and that'll take you back to the main home screen within the Zoom app. Now, before we get out of here, there's a few more tips I want to leave. Number one, I pretty much show how we can join a meeting and you do not have to log in with the email or password to be able to do that. Number two, you may want to have a volume on your blind cell between the volumes of 8 and 10 so that way you can still hear the screen reader. Number three, the next time you go into the Zoom app. Let's say like I want to join a meeting.
Join a meeting. I'm going to press ok. Now if I press the down bar recent meeting ads, it'll have an extra setting in here called recent meetings. If I press OK on that recent meeting and if I down bar, it'll show my recent Zoom meetings. I've been in Tech Lab. 870-3926-1859 There goes Tech Lab.
That's the Sunday night shelling that Diane and Cindy do. You can actually join the meeting. Going through this without having to punch in the meeting ID again will have to put in a passcode again because every time you go to a recurring meeting they always have like an updated new passcode Number four. The next Zoom demo that I'll show is how we can join a meeting through our email while using the Internet browser on the Blind shell. So look forward to that. I know this was a little bit more detailed than usual, but I wanted to break down the Zoom app how you can go about using it on the Blind shell. So when y'all get a chance, check it out.
