Thread Name: Zoom Tech Issues for singarounds/singer numbering
Subject: RE: Tech: Zoom: Take a Number (queue) feature?
Yeah, numbering participants really takes up a lot of time. Automatic numbering would be helpful for a lot of reasons.

And now with more user-friendly breakout rooms, people are proposing having multiple singarounds in a single Zoom session. How in the world can we number singers in a Zoom session with several rooms?

I meant to answer your message yesterday, and then I got distracted. And then I forgot about it. I'm wondering the same thing you are, although I have to say that I have two wonderful assistants at the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround, and they handle that task and many others. And now that Zoom has improved the search function on its participant list, moderating a singaround got a whole lot less stressful. I number the single-digit folks with a zero before the digit. Then I put "0" in the search box, and I get a list of the first ten singers, plus #20 and #30 and #40, but I can deal with that. Then I put "1" in the participant search, and a nice list of the teenagers appears. Sure made things a lot more fun.

Cheers!
