Other helpful Zoom information
You don’t have to have a Zoom membership or even log in to join a meeting.
It’s a good idea to plan to log in a few minutes before a meeting begins to make sure it’s working for you, especially the first time. For some meetings, you’ll be placed in a “waiting room” until the moderator opens the meeting, for others, you’ll jump right into the meeting.
You can choose to enable your camera so we can all see your smiling face, or if you’re in your pajamas with bedhead, you can keep the camera disabled.
For most meetings, plan to be muted for most of the call so we don’t get all the background noise from all of our environments. (Dogs barking, dishwashers, etc.)
