Joining A Virtual Meeting
This tutorial is for computer participants. We will have a phone tutorial soon.
Here are the steps we took to get to a virtual meeting:
Step 1
We admitted we had to go to: www.zoom.us and click on the “Join A Meeting” link.
Then, enter the Meeting ID. Click the “Join” button to continue.
Step 2
Came to believe that by typing our name, it would be visible to all participants.
Click on the “Join” button to continue.
Step 3
Made a decision to click “Join Audio by Computer” for sound.
Tip: You can use headphones if you are in a shared space to protect the anonymity of other meeting attendees.
Step 4
Took a fearless look around to find that we could:
Mute & Unmute ourselves*
Tip: While muted, we can hold the spacebar down to say, “Hi Bill!” to be heard, and let go to return to mute.
Start our Video after we feel comfortable in the room.
If you’re concerned about your home showing in the background, sit with your back facing a wall.
If enabled by your host, try the “Virtual Background” feature.
Use the Chat function to reach out to an individual or message the whole room.
Please use this feature responsibly. If someone raises a concern about unskillful use of the chat feature, it will be revoked.
Step 5
Shared with another human being the link to this meeting because it is great!
These are basic steps to get into a virtual meeting on the zoom platform. Any assistance needed beyond this can be found at zoom.us/support.
