Introduction
With the lockdown currently affecting most parts of the world, meeting people in person is no longer something you want to do. The pandemic is real and lots of people are infected. So social distancing is now the language of the day. However, businesses and people in general, have found a way to host meetings virtually. So you can stay in your home and still meet, talk to, see and hear your friends. There are many applications that have made this possible. One of the them is Zoom.
Zoom makes it possible to hold online video conferences. To do that is very simple. Assuming you have downloaded Zoom Cloud Meetings from the play store, here is how to host or join a meeting.
