I was at a Zoom meeting today, which was being recorded. In the middle of somebody’s screen-shared presentation, I got a phone call.<\/p>\n
I didn’t pick up the call, but I needed to take a minute to send the caller a note telling them that I’d call them back after my meeting. In the meantime, I had completely missed whatever was said in that portion of the presentation.<\/p>\n
What I really wanted to do in that moment was scroll back to look at the previous slide or two. But Zoom doesn’t let me do that.<\/p>\n
Since the meeting was being recorded, there was clearly a record of what had transpired up to that moment in the meeting. But there was no way for me to see it.<\/p>\n
Eventually, when the Zoom recording comes out, I will be able to review the presentation. And then I will know what I missed.<\/p>\n
But by that point it will be far too late for me to ask useful questions in the meeting itself. Which makes me sad.<\/p>\n
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could have the option during a Zoom meeting of scrolling back through whatever was previously on screen? On the list of “useful features I would like added to Zoom” this is definitely one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
