Start and Participate in Group Video Chats: Zoom on Android’s Way
Since working from home has become a trend for a majority of people now, the trend of online/virtual/zoom meetings has also skyrocketed. People like me who work as freelancers or in different companies now use Zoom for numerous work calls and daily virtual meets. It doesn’t matter if you have a laptop or a smartphone you can put Zoom to use anytime.
So if you have a query, “is Zoom in android actually a thing?” and if you are new to Zoom, don’t know how to start or join a Zoom meeting on Android, and how to schedule it, this step-wise process will help you out. So before making that Zoom call, here is everything you must understand and be aware of:
There is no doubt that the Zoom app on an android device is easy to navigate through and put to use. All the features are pretty visible and can be used with ease. Also, the phone camera is much better in quality and hence, you can make calls with better visibility of yourself to whom you have called. You just have to opt for downloading the Zoom app by using the Google Play Store. Then you can opt for the creation of an account and you can put Zoom to use right away. Here’s how you get started with a meeting using Zoom on an Android phone:
On the left side, in the upper corner, opt for clicking on the option “New Meeting.“
Now, opt for the selection of “Start a Meeting.“ Once done, you will notice a video conference space.
At this point, you will see a pop-up with the “Got it“ button on it. Click on it so you can provide a permit to Zoom to access the microphone and camera of the device you are using.
Now, you will see a window pop-up asking you to provide access to Zoom to record a video or click a picture. Click on the button “Allow“
Now, at this point, the screen of your device will have the option “Participants,“. This option you can opt to use for the addition of one or more people to your meeting.
Now, opt for clicking on “Invite“. Here, after this, you will see a menu. This menu will have a few options you can choose from so you can send guest invites. Also, using Zoom’s contacts option, you may invite people by sending an email or sharing the invite link, and so on. So it’s pretty simple to use in that sense.
Now, you have to press “Send Email“ by putting everyone’s email address and now, click on the “Send“ button.
Also, when it comes to copying the meeting’s hyperlink, you can opt to tap on the “Copy invite link“ option on your device.

You will see a window pop-up on the Zoom app. It will show waiting for the Zoom meeting to be started by the host.
At this point, you will notice a window pop-up asking you to provide access to the camera along with the microphone on your device. Here, you have to click on “Got It”.
