Getting started with Zoom for business and fun

Yes, we're doing the social distancing thing, but that doesn't mean we can't keep socializing! Zoom is a wonderful free tool that allows multiple people to join together and see each other and share their screens or documents real-time with others on the call.

The great thing is, not only can we do this from home, we can do it from anywhere. That means we can suddenly meet up with people all around the world! Single people... think how much this opens up our dating pool! Now, we just need match.com to add a category for people who live online, but that's a story for another blog post..

Here are some ideas of what we might do with Zoom (or other tools like it) in the time of Corona:

* Collaborate with others in your business
* Host a virtual happy hour
* Go on a virtual date
* Network with potential clients
* Give a tutorial
* Do a spoof of the Opening Brady Bunch Theme Song
* Teach a class
* Participate in a class
* Play games together
* Watch movies together
* Be part of a virtual orchestra:

* Or be part of a virtual choir:


What ideas do you have?

The camera adds 10 pounds and makes me look 10 years older. How can I photoshop or video shop my face for a Zoom meeting?

Haha! I don't think there are any filters on Zoom (yet) to enhance your looks, but we're all at an equal disadvantage. If you're really self-conscious about it, you can leave your video-camera off and have a doctor'ed up profile picture so that everyone thinks you're super hot.
