Hybrid Meeting with Zoom - Setup and Tips for Beginners (on YouTube)

An example of how to set up a hybrid meeting - look for others (google can be your friend):

Fei shows you how to set up a cell phone as a secondary camera -- many cameras built into cell phones are very good and are flexible in adjusting the lighting either automatically or manually. 

Reminder: if you have two devices connected to the same meeting in the same room one of them has to be set to "do not use audio".  Muting the device only shuts off the microphone but not necessarily the speakers, and a disruptive feedback noise is almost guaranteed.  Even experienced hosts run into this error so it is worth repeating.  Any two audio sources in the room can create problems, including using a separate conference room telephone for audio - which can provide great sound, but is a huge problem unless every computer in the room connected to the meeting has selected "disconnect from computer audio", including the host computer.
