Have you ever encountered difficulties in sharing a video with panelists during a Zoom meeting? You’re not the only one! In this article, I will guide you step by step on how to enable panelists to share videos on Zoom. As someone who frequently uses Zoom for virtual meetings and webinars, I have also faced this problem and I am thrilled to share my expertise with you.

Step 1: Have the Right Role

Before you can allow panelists to show video on Zoom, you need to ensure that you have the right role in the meeting. By default, only the host and co-hosts have this capability. So, if you’re not the host, make sure to reach out to them and ask for the necessary permissions.

Step 2: Enable Panelists to Share Video

Once you have the right role, you can enable panelists to show video by following these steps:

  1. Login to your Zoom account and schedule a meeting.
  2. After scheduling the meeting, click on the “Settings” tab.
  3. In the “In Meeting (Basic)” section, scroll down and toggle on the option that says “Allow panelists to share video”.
  4. Click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.

By enabling this setting, you’re granting panelists the ability to share their video during the meeting.

Step 3: Communicate the Option to Panelists

Now that you’ve made the necessary changes in the settings, it’s important to communicate this option to the panelists. You can do this by sending them an email or by mentioning it in the meeting invitation. Let them know that they have the option to show video during the meeting and encourage them to take advantage of it.

Remember, not all panelists may be aware of this feature, so providing clear instructions and reminders can go a long way in ensuring a smooth and engaging meeting.

Conclusion

Allowing panelists to show video on Zoom can enhance the overall meeting experience by adding a visual element to the discussion. By following the simple steps outlined in this article, you can empower your panelists to share videos and make your Zoom meetings more engaging and interactive. So, go ahead and enable this option in your settings, communicate it to your panelists, and get ready for more dynamic meetings!
