Hints from Diane Wingingland about Zoom and the New "Immersive View"--------------------
In the lastest update of Zoom, there is a new feature --"immersive view"-- in which you can choose from different group backgrounds for 2-25 people.
Just update your Zoom desktop client (click on your profile picture in the upper right corner of the desktop client, then click on “Check for Updates”) Pretty cool--from cafe, to classroom to conference room and more. #zoommeetings  It wasn't immediately obvious to me how to turn this on, so, for the benefit of anyone else struggling, use the View | Immersive menu option in the top-right corner.
Timing Lights app for Zoom.

Timing Lights app for zoom.  Timer video that shows time and changes color. Has an app for table topics, and one for prepared speech.  For info and download visit    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh82_qkN1nU
