4. Once Zoom has launched, a screen should pop us asking for your name. This will identify you during the class.
5. You should now be part of the class. Click the button that says “Join with Computer Audio”

Join by tablet or smartphone

NOTES for all of our new online classes
· Please click on the link to join the sessions BEFORE the scheduled start time to allow time for your computer or device to connect.
· We will open up our Zoom meeting rooms 5 minutes before each class is scheduled to start.
· When the class actually starts, we will mute everyone so we don’t all hear each other’s background noise or the sound of new people coming into the class. You will hear and see the instructor, however.
