Your browser may ask for confirmation. Be sure to check the checkbox to remember your choice, otherwise you will go through this process every time.
Assuming you are joining by computer, click Join Audio by Computer. Otherwise, choose Join by Phone and follow the instructions .
Familiarize yourself with the buttons along the bottom of the screen.
If you have multiple audio inputs and outputs, choose the one you wish to use.
Do the same for video.
The Zoom app will also be running .
3. Set your preferences
It is a good idea to set your preferences so Zoom knows what video camera and audio device to use. If you only have one of each, Zoom will select those by default.

This will launch the app.
If the meeting is not yet started, Zoom will ask you to wait.

Doing so open the Chat window. You can choose to chat with the entire cohort or just one of the members.
