OK, so what is Zoom anyway?
Zoom is an online platform developed to enable multiple people to see and hear each other in a meeting setting. The only equipment you actually need to participate is a phone with long distance capabilities. However in order to get the full experience, a computer, tablet, or smart phone is best.
Did you know that our Zoom meetings are now more secure?
Every meeting is now protected with a password.
To join us just click on the link below each meeting listed on page one of the monthly newsletter. Each meeting has a unique code so the meeting on week one will NOT be the same as week two, etc. If you misplace this newsletter, don’t worry, I’ll send out the new meeting info every week before the meeting. Please allow enough time for the code to be sent, by registering at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Especially if you are joining for the first time. After you register with your name and email, You will be sent a clickable meeting link and an ID and password via the email you provide.
Joining a Zoom meeting is easy. Just click on the link in the email. You may be asked to download the app. Then the meeting appears on your computer, laptop, ipad, tablet, or similar device, or smart phone.
NOTE: Please insure that your device has a working camera and microphone.
Don’t have any of these? No problem. You can still join the meeting by calling in using one of the phone numbers that will be sent to you following your registration. Can’t register? Call me and I’ll give you the call-in info. Rebecca 216-218-0477. Please leave a detailed message as I often don’t hear my phone ring.
I hope you will join us on our next call. While nothing is as good as meeting in person, until that can happen, this is a good substitute. Hope to see you at our next Zoom meeting.
