Tech Tips & FAQs

Technical Requirements

The webinar platform we will use is Zoom, which you can download from zoom.us/download. Zoom offers computer, tablet and phone versions of their software. They have a great support and help section to answer questions on their website.

To fully participate in the meeting you will need a computer with internet access and good speakers or headphones. We recommend that if you are participating individually that you use a headset to prevent feedback when speaking.

A camera on your computer so we can see you is a bonus, but not required to participate. If your internet connection is weak, turning off your video helps stabilize the connection.

Zoom Security

In order to help ensure a safe and positive online experience, certain security procedures will be required for all Seminar attendees.

1. You must join the meetings via the Zoom app (rather than by phone).

2. Before you join a meeting, you must make sure that your displayed Name matches the full name you provided at registration. (We will check your displayed name against our list of registrants before letting you into the Zoom Room.)

3. The Seminar's Zoom Rooms will require a password to enter. Closer to the event, we will send all registrants the required password. DO NOT share the password anywhere else.
