How to Use Zoom
Zoom is communication platform that we are using to host virtual meetings and gatherings. You can participate with video or by phone.
You can download Zoom from their website. And check out Zoom's help page if you need some guidance.
If you have any questions, please contact Carol Rozmiarek.
Joining a Meeting/Worship Service
You can download Zoom from their website. And check out Zoom's help page if you need some guidance.
If you have received an invitation to a Zoom meeting, or have a link to a Zoom meeting, from your computer or smart phone, you can click on the link to join the meeting. You can either install the Zoom software (it will prompt you to do so) or you can run it from your browser (if you want to do this, just decline to download the software when prompted once or twice, and it will give you an option for using your browser). I’d recommend testing this out and downloading the software ahead of time, so you aren’t delayed when joining the meeting.
You also have the option to connect by phone – either using the “one-tap mobile” option or dialing in from any phone and using the Meeting ID. If your computer doesn’t have a camera/microphone, you can still watch the meeting on your computer and participate by phone.
There’s also a free smart phone app (ZOOM Cloud Meetings) if you prefer to use that. Again, I’d recommend downloading and testing it before trying to join the meeting.

Tips for Using Zoom with Phone
