To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

• Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
• Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
• This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
