Colleagues, I´m preparing for my first online class on Wednesday. Our university doesn´t want us to record the classes, so it is all real time.
Does anyone know if Zoom allows you to have a split screen, one half showing your Powerpoint/screen, and one half showing yourself speaking? I cannot find this function. I think it is very hard to pay attention to audio+PPT without actually seeing the person speaking. Many thanks - and to Ron for launching the thread.
