I keep jumping in at the wrong time on Zoom and it’s very embarrassing. I say 2 words and get trampled by the next person. How do I fix this?

Zone out and do other stuff while halfway playing attentive to the meeting.

Watch the highlights around the video thumbnails. When they all go dark, jump in and start talking. If you see someone else’s thumbnail light up, don’t hesitate and keep talking. There’s nothing wrong with saying, “I’m almost done,” or “let me finish up so (person x) can jump in.” You can acknowledge them without yielding the floor.

Address this issue in internal team kicks offs moving forward.

This was happening to me lately. I usually keep talking or say “I have a suggestion” or “I have a question”. Or I am passive and say “oh, go ahead and finish Blake” so it’s clear I had something to say after.

My advice remains the same.
