Zoom ULCNA Meeting Instructions with PDFs and Links to Videos

Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool while on a computer, tablet or a mobile app that allows users to meet online, with or without video. Zoom Hosts and Particpants can choose to record sessions, collaborate on projects, and share or annotate on one anothers’ screens, all with one easy-to-use platform.

A Zoom account isn’t required to attend a meeting. Users do need a Zoom account to host a meeting. Anyone can join a meeting using the Zoom mobile apps or desktop applications for Windows and Mac.

Zoom Instructions

JOIN A MEETING:

Join a meeting by clicking on the Zoom link provided by the meeting host. If this is your first Zoom meeting on your device, click download and run Zoom. The Zoom.exe file will download, and you will need to open the file. Please note: this only needs to be done once for any device on which you use Zoom for the first time. DO THIS WELL IN ADVANCE OF YOUR SCHEDULED MEETING.

Once set up: click Join a Meeting -> enter the Meeting ID -> then click Join -> enter Password -> then Join Meeting. Choose: Join with Video or Join without Video.

When you join a Zoom meeting hosted by another person, you are considered an Attendee, and you’ll have access to a range of controls, which will vary based on the Host’s settings. Hover over the bottom of your active Zoom meeting window for the control bar.
