Zoom church meeting features include the ability to stream and share meeting updates to social media and the entire congregation. With a Zoom meeting, you can host a virtual town hall or update your congregation on current events. You can also limit the meeting to ten attendees and set a passcode for attendees to access the video.

Zoom’s live transcription feature only available in English

Zoom’s live transcription feature is currently available only in English, but it plans to expand to more languages in the future. In the meantime, participants can request to have their recorded conversations transcribed during a Zoom meeting by requesting it. Before you can request transcription, however, you must first have permission from the Zoom account or group admin.

Open the Zoom meeting and click the Meeting tab. From there, click the Closed Captioning toggle. When you’re done, click the Save Transcript button. The transcript will download to your computer as a.txt file. Once you have the file, you can view the transcription.

Zoom’s live transcription feature uses automatic speech recognition and artificial intelligence to transcribe audio and create captions. The feature is only available for English-speaking users and must be turned on by the meeting creator.

Limiting meetings to 10 people

If you’re a church leader, you might be concerned about the growing number of users that are joining your church meetings via Zoom. You can limit the number of participants by modifying the default security settings. Moreover, you can limit the number of guests that can join the meeting by adding specific individuals to the guest list.

One way to limit the number of people that can attend a Zoom meeting is to set a limit of 10 participants. You can do this when setting up your meeting, or once it starts. When this limit is met, only those people who are admitted can join. This is a helpful screening process. It prevents those people who are late or are arriving after the meeting. If you’re worried about the security, consider assigning a co-host who will oversee the meeting. If you’re unable to manage the number of attendees, you can always disable the security feature.

Another way to limit the number of participants is by muting the microphone. This is essential in order to avoid unwanted extra noise. You can also set a password for the Zoom meeting, but you should never share it publicly.

Setting a passcode for Zoom meetings

If you run a church that uses Zoom for its online meetings, you’ll want to set a passcode to keep your meetings secure. You can do this through the Zoom web portal. In the “Schedule a meeting” section, click the “Password” link.

Depending on the purpose of your Zoom meetings, you may want to set a passcode to limit who can see the meeting. For instance, you might have a Zoom church meeting that’s for members only, but you don’t want anyone but the congregation to be able to see it. If you want to have a private meeting, you can also choose a password to protect your meeting from people who are not known to you. You can also set a passcode to prevent people who may be mischievous from joining the meeting.

There have been some concerns raised about the security of Zoom meetings. Clearly, these aren’t intended for state secrets, but some users have reported instances of outsiders sneaking into church meetings without permission. This is especially important if the meeting involves young people. If you have any concerns, please contact your church’s safeguarding lead.

Streaming to Facebook/YouTube/Custom

If you have a Zoom church meeting, you can easily stream it to Facebook, YouTube, or Custom for the entire congregation to watch. You can also share it with friends and family. This makes your church service accessible to a new audience. You can also invite up to 100 people to participate, and they can join the meeting through their own computer, smartphone, or tablet.

You can also use a PTZ camera, which is a computer-connected camera with a pan-tilt-zoom capability. Using this type of camera is the most straightforward way to get started with streaming. There are several videos available that explain how to choose the right camera. However, you should consider the layout of your church before choosing the camera. Also, you need to consider the lens and zoom you’ll need and where the camera will be mounted.

The process is similar to a standard Zoom meeting. First, you must log in to the YouTube website. Click the video camera icon at the top right of the page. Next, click the Go Live button. Next, click Schedule Stream. Select a title for the stream, add a description, and an image. You can choose to stream the video from the Zoom website, as well as choose a category and date. You can even schedule your stream before the actual event.
