How to use Zoom

What you'll learn in this workshop:

Have you heard friends & family speaking about Zoom meetings and calls? Zoom helps you connect, communicate, and express your ideas. Zoom is easy to install and use. You can use Zoom to meet virtually (not in-person) with others by video or audio-only. In this 60-min workshop you’ll learn how to quickly and easily get Zoom installed on your desktop computer, tablet, or smart phone. Don’t worry, you can always download a printable step-by-step instruction sheet for later use.

You’ll also learn how to join Zoom video calls or meetings, and host your own calls and meetings. The workshop covers simple “How to’s and Tips and Tricks,” such as how to hide or disguise your video background, either by blurring or maybe using a beach background picture from your last holiday. And, remember, there’s handy printable step-by-step instruction sheets for later reference and to prompt your memory when required.

And, finally, each workshop includes plenty of opportunity for learning from others, whether you have lots of your own questions, or just want to listen to answers to other participant’s questions.

What you need to participate:
