Mark, I'm a big fan of the Zoom Cloud Meetings app as we use it for the various programs hosted by Accessible World. I wrote an overview of Zoom last September when Accessible World switched to it and you can access and download that overview here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/29pj8jzh1i2d59b/Zoom%20cloud%20meetings%20overview_2018-08-27.htm?dl=0 That overview is done from an Accessible World point of view but it is marked up with headings and you should find it easy to navigate in order to read the sections of interest. I would urge you to set up your free Zoom account so you'll be identified by name whenever you attend a Zoom meeting using the app. I haven't noticed spam email from Zoom since setting up my account although they do send out notices from time to time regarding free meetings about using the Zoom product. As far as tips for using the app, I'm a big fan of getting the meeting ID and entering it in the app as opposed to executing a meeting link. I've just found the former process to be more straightforward and successful for me. When I launch the app, 4 buttons are near the top of the screen and are New Meeting, Join, Schedule, and Share Screen. I always double tap the Join button, am placed in the meeting ID text box, and input the meeting ID using the on screen keypad presented in the bottom third of the screen. If you regularly attend the same meetings, a meeting history button on this join screen will provide you with a picker list of past meetings through which you can scroll to pick a previously attended meeting. Finally, after I've joined an in-process meeting, I always execute the participants button on the bottomline menu because it gives me a list by name or phone number of those signed into the meeting. Voiceover works very well with this app and I've had no accessibility issues. I hope the above is helpful but post back if you have more questions.

Hello Everyone, I just downloaded the Zoom cloud meeting app, for iOS. As I have never used a cloud meeting app, before, I would appreciate any tips for using it with VoiceOver. What do I need to get started, just an email address? I hope this is not another one of those apps that begins to spam you with unsolicited emails, once you sign up for a quote, free, quote, account.
