Zoom Conference Call Meeting Tutorial Information

If you are new to using Zoom meetings, we encourage you to learn more about Zoom in advance: How do I join a Zoom Meeting. If you access the meeting online, you will have the option of seeing whoever is speaking (if they have a webcam enabled) and likewise the option of being seen. Online access also includes an audio-only option. If your computer is not equipped with a webcam, speakers and microphone or if you have difficultly joining the meeting online, the phone-in option may be best.

In solidarity,
