How To Zoom

 

What do I need to join a Zoom meeting?

  • Laptop, tablet or smartphone, preferably with a web camera

  • Internet connection (WiFi or wired)

  • A hyperlink or Zoom ID

(If you’re accessing Zoom from an iPad/Tablet or cell phone, you’ll first need to download the ZOOM App onto your device from the App Store.)

You DO NOT need to create an account to join a ZOOM meeting.

Join the Meeting: Hyperlink vs Zoom ID

  • Using a hyperlink from the meeting schedule - click on the meeting link to open your web browser and go directly to the Zoom meeting.

  • Using a Zoom ID - open up your web browser and type in “zoom.com”. Click “Join a Meeting” in the menu and type in the Meeting ID number from the meeting schedule.

Be patient - a moderator will let you in. You may need to click on [open.zoom.us], especially the first time you use Zoom and click “Join with Computer Audio”.

Once You’re In

  • Adjust your camera to center your face on the screen so people can see you properly.

  • Your microphone and camera ON/OFF icons are in the bottom left corner of the screen.

  • Click on Participants at the bottom center of the screen to see others in the meeting.

  • Please keep yourself on Mute unless speaking. Be respectful when others are talking.

  • The CHAT button at the bottom of the screen allows you type a message to participants.

The most important thing is you’re in the meeting! If you need to leave the meeting at any time, simply close the Window.
