Using a tablet or iPad as a second device to allow you to draw diagrams or annotate can be easier when using a stylus.
Tips for using stylus with a tablet in Zoom.
- iPads and Androids don’t have ‘palm rejection’ so any part of your hand will interfere with the stylus if it makes contact with the screen.
- Consider raising the back edge of the screen up an inch or so to make it easier to write at the top of the page.
- Use the ‘Clear’ or ‘Undo’ button to control mistakes. (Undo will also undo a clear)
- If you use the ‘Eraser’ don’t forget to tap back to the ‘Pen’ before writing again.
- Tap ‘Colour’ to change the thickness of the pen as well as the colour.
- The annotate bar can be dragged to another part of the screen.
- It is possible to share files such as photo or pdfs then to annotate over them.
- Your blanked camera will still appear bottom right even when it is set not to start. Tap the –(minus) to hide it.
- A web link from an email is probably the easiest way to connect to the meeting, or starting the Zoom app then ‘Join’ and manually entering the Zoom Meeting ID.
- Before connecting to the meeting via iPad, check the following settings. (You will need to sign into the app then go to ‘Settings’ and ‘Meetings’)
