What Will I Need?
You will need a laptop/desktop PC or tablet with a microphone and a camera. Most modern devices have these built in.
You will also need the Zoom software. When you click on an invitation link, provided by your teacher, the Zoom application will launch automatically if you already have it installed or will prompt you to install it. You only need to install the Zoom application once.

Installing Zoom on a PC
Here, Mr L goes through the install and setup process of Zoom on a PC from an invitation link if you do not already have the application installed.
Note: If you have already signed into your child's student portal and launched G-Suite the PC should keep you logged in as your student. However, you may be brought into the DoE account login page. If this happens you just need to enter:
User ID: firstname.lastname (i.e. john.smith*)
Password: your student's unique password
*note: some logins might have a number i.e. john.smith3
