This immediately turns off your microphone and camera and gives you a big button to press when you’re ready to talk.

Safe Driving Mode – kind of a hidden feature on the iPhone, you can quickly go into “Safe Driving Mode” by swiping to the right on the screen.

When you’re in the Zoom app, tap Settings, then “Meetings” and turn the switches ON for “Always Mute My Microphone” and “Always Turn Off My Video.” You should also turn on “Always Show Meeting Controls.” That way, you’re not distracting everyone with background noise and can simply un-mute yourself when it’s time to speak. Always mute your microphone, always turn off video – while this might sound counter-intuitive, I always recommend that you join meetings with your microphone and camera turned off.If you need to change those settings, you can go to the Settings app and scroll all the way down to the Zoom item (probably at the bottom) where you can elect to give permission to certain items or not.

Giving your permission – the first time you open the Zoom app on your iPhone or iPad, the app will request permission to access your microphone and camera.
