How to Attend a Webinar using Zoom

These are the instructions for using a browser to connect to our webinar. Zoom also has apps you can use.

Attend a Meeting

1. Join a meeting

Go to Zoom.us (not Zoom.com) and click on “Join A Meeting” in the upper right corner of the browser window.

2. Enter the Meeting ID

This will have been sent to you through an email or some other communication.

3. Download App

If you have not used Zoom before, your browser will download the app that works inside your browser. Choose to use computer audio, and test your audio choices if you wish.

4. Meeting window

All the controls for participating in the meeting are along the bottom of the window. If you do not see them, just move your mouse down.

5. Confirm settings

Confirm that the Audio and Video buttons are not muted. If they are, click on them to unmute them. (In this graphic, Video is muted.)

HOW TO INTERACT

1. Technical issues

If you are having technical issues but have been able to connect to the webinar, move your mouse down to the bottom of the screen and click on Chat.

2. Ask a question

There are two ways to ask a question.

Use chat, making sure you are sending the chat question to the panelists.

Raise your hand. When the panelist is ready to hear your question, your audio (and video if it is not muted) will be broadcast to all attendees. This is the best way to ask questions; just recognize that everyone will hear and/or see you.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Audio

Click next to the Audio button to select a different mic.

If you are having trouble with audio, select Audio Options and test to see if your speaker and microphone are working.

2. Video

Click next to the Video button to select a different camera.

If you are having trouble with video, select Video Options and test to see if your camera is working.
