If you're looking for a way to host your book club virtually, Zoom could be the perfect solution! Here are some tips and tricks for using Zoom for book clubs:

  • Set up a recurring Zoom meeting for your book club, so you don't have to send out new links for every meeting.
  • Assign one person to be the host, and give them control over the meeting. You can use the Chat feature to pass notes to the host if needed.
  • Use the Share Screen feature to display the book cover, notes, or discussion prompts for your book club.
  • Encourage members to use the Raise Hand feature to indicate that they want to speak.
  • Consider enabling the Waiting Room feature, so that the host can control who enters the meeting.
  • If you're worried about the length of the meeting, you can also set a time limit or have an open discussion to ensure everyone has a chance to speak.

With a little bit of preparation, hosting your book club on Zoom can be just as engaging as meeting in person. Happy reading!
