Zoom Party - here's how to go about it

In this age of "social distancing", video conferencing is often the only way to stay in touch with friends and acquaintances. Zoom is among the most popular applications for professional meetings, but is also increasingly used in private settings.

This is what you should keep in mind

To avoid technical problems during your party on Zoom, you should prepare as best as possible.

• Stable internet connection: an unstable internet connection makes for jerky images and choppy sound. Especially as a host, you should therefore ensure that you have a working WLAN connection.
• Less is more: Anyone who has already had Zoom meetings knows it - with too many participants, it can become chaotic. Therefore, it's better not to invite too many participants to your party.
• Participants know Zoom: Even though it's not difficult to join a Zoom meeting, the participants of your party should ideally be familiar with the application in advance.
