Zoom test meeting

If you plan to organize your own video meeting in Zoom, then it would be logical to check devices and the Internet connection. It will be very unpleasant when, at the most crucial moment, it turns out that the connection is interrupted, the microphone is quiet, and the webcam does not show anything. In the case of a friendly get-together, such problems are not problems. But in an online lesson or in another serious situation, this is extremely undesirable. Zoom Test Meeting function allows you to check everything in advance.
