How Do I Get Zoom Controls?

Accessing Zoom controls depends on the type of device or meeting environment you are using. Whether you're in a standard Zoom meeting or utilizing a specialized Zoom Room for Touch or Zoom for Home device, the method to display your controls differs slightly.

Accessing Controls in Standard Zoom Meetings

For most users participating in a standard Zoom meeting on a computer or mobile device, the primary way to access in-meeting settings and controls is straightforward:

• During an active Zoom meeting, look for the gear icon (⚙️).
• This icon is typically located in the top-right corner of your screen.
• Tap the gear icon to access a menu of in-meeting settings. Here, you can usually find options related to audio, video, chat, participants, and more, allowing you to manage your meeting experience.

Accessing Controls in Zoom Rooms for Touch or Zoom for Home Devices

If you are interacting with Zoom through a dedicated Zoom Rooms for Touch system or a personal Zoom for Home device, the approach to bringing up the on-screen controller is specific to these interfaces:

• When using a Zoom Rooms for Touch system or a Zoom for Home device, your on-screen controls are accessed via a distinct icon.
• Locate the ellipses icon (...) at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
• Tap this ellipses icon to display the on-screen controller. This controller provides all the necessary functions for managing the meeting within that specific room or device setup.
• Note: Accessing the on-screen controller on these devices often requires the room passcode for security purposes.
