ZOOM BASICS

• Be sure to register for the conference. After you register, you will be sent a confirmation email with the Zoom links you need to join the conference sessions.

• You can join the conference sessions by cut-and-pasting Zoom links into your browser. However, your Zoom experience will be better if you download the application to your device. You can download the application from the Zoom website.

• Note that your Zoom layout will look a little different depending on whether you join from a desktop/laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

• If you have downloaded the Zoom application previously, please be sure you have the latest updates. Open the Zoom application, and the under the menu tab "zoom.us", click on "Check updates".

Participant Guidelines

• Check and mute your microphone when you enter a conference session.

• Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.

• We will be recording the conference sessions. If you do not wish to appear in the Zoom screen, please turn your webcam off.

• If your webcam is on, don't forget that others can see you. Please refrain from multi-tasking so you do not distract the speaker or the audience. If needed, turn off your webcam.

• You are welcome to ask questions via the Chat box. The presenters will address those questions during the Q & A portion of their sessions.
