About doing Zoom on a phone

• Suggest that participants turn their phone sideways - they'll see your screen shares much bigger

• Suggest that participants can swipe toward the left and continue swiping to see other participants. If the host is sharing their screen, swiping toward the left lets you see the host and other participants.

• I found it hard to hold a phone in a good position (where the camera showed me in the video window) for more than about 5 minutes. Sometimes students may be able to prop up their phones, but we need to understand if they can't.
