How to Zoom
What is Zoom and where do I start?
Zoom is a safe and secure app that allows you to engage in live Web conversations with your instructor using audio, video, and text-based chat features.
You will need one of the one of following devices to engage:
- Phone: landline (to dial in and listen)
- Smartphone, computer, laptop or tablet. (to use full capabilities)
Download Zoom . It鈥檚 free!
If you prefer not to download the app, you can alternatively sign-up for an account and log-on to Zoom for each class session with a meeting I.D. number.
How do I join a class?
- A link will be sent to you via email for each enrollment. You will use the same link for the courses with multiple sessions.
- Please do not share the links with others. They are intended for registered members only and sharing could overwhelm the system.
Note:
- If you click on the link early, you will be placed in a Waiting Room. Registered members will be granted access to class near the scheduled start time. Please allow a few minutes before or after as we check students in.
- Chat feature will be off and unavailable during class time.
- Audio will automatically be muted during lecture and unmuted during Q & A.
- Some lectures may not run the full 2-hours as they were prepared to be presented in-class and not online.
