Quick Zoom Tutorial

Thanks to Rev. Phil Snider for this guide.

– Zoom works for electronic devices (e.g. computer, iPhone, iPad, etc.) and telephones. 💻 📱 ☎️

– If you use a smart device (smart phone or tablet), download the Zoom Cloud Meetings app in advance.

– If your electronic device has a camera, you have the option of using your camera to be visible (if your camera is turned on people will be able to see you and/or your surroundings).

– Keep your device muted unless you are speaking. Otherwise there will be a cacophony of voices online all at once, which will sound noisy and distracting for everybody involved, including you. I can’t stress this point enough.

– If you’re using an electronic device, headphones are recommended in order to decrease feedback.

– Each meeting has a unique nine digit Meeting ID. You need this ID to find the right meeting. (If you are joining by telephone you also need to know the telephone number to dial).
