Zoom Videoconference Info

 It’s Easy, and Free to Download and Use!!

Zoom is a new videoconferencing technology.
Zoom is like Skype, only we think it’s better 🙂

Zoom is free to download, and free for you to attend another’s meeting (like any of our meetings)  for as long as the meeting lasts.

It is also free to have your own meetings with one to 50 people, for up to 40 minutes each time (and longer if you prefer more time for your own meetings, by paying a monthly fee).

With Zoom, you can connect over your computer, with or without a webcam.
You can also connect from your smartphone or tablet, either Apple (iPhone or iPad) or Android.
And you can also connect from an ordinary telephone.
Zoom also has local telephone numbers you can call from all over the world.

So the choice is yours about how you connect – computer, smartphone, tablet, or ordinary phone.

Connecting from your PC or Mac or Smartphone or Tablet

To connect from your computer is easy, just click on this link: 

https://zoom.us/j/5749176177

This will open a page in your web browser. The Zoom application will automatically download itself and run, and then connect you to our meeting. Depending on your system, you may need to click on a button to give permission to run the application. 

If your system doesn’t have a webcam, we won’t be able to see you, but you’ll still be able to see us, and everyone else on the call who does have a webcam.

Connecting by telephone from within the States…

The U.S. number is 1-415-762-9988

When you connect, it will ask you for your Meeting ID:

574 917 6177(and then press “#”)

Once you are on the call, you can Mute  yourself by pressing the Star key (“*“) and then

and Unmute (“6″) . Please mute yourself when not speaking to eliminate background noise.

Connecting by telephone from another country…

If you are outside of the US, here is the page from Zoom with the list of telephone numbers you can call. 

If you are calling from within the country listed, you don’t need to use the country code (the 2 or 3 numbers after the “+” sign), but depending on which country you’re in, you probably need to dial (0) before you dial the number.
