[Lwvcnmtopics] How to access Zoom

[kwentworth17 at comcast.net]

Hello, Members!

 

Here are some tips from Trish Lopez and Teeniors for accessing Zoom for our
unit meeting at noon on Thursday.

 

Thank you for your continued support of the League of Women Voters Central
New Mexico. In an effort to stay connected through the pandemic, our board
has decided to experiment with a monthly "Lunch and Learn" from home. What
used to be our regular in-person unit meetings at Embassy Suites, will now
be temporarily replaced during Covid. We're excited about this opportunity
to bring you conversations with local leaders in New Mexico politics from
the comfort of your home. On [date] at [time], we will try out our first
presentation, by using Zoom - an online video conference tool. 

*	If you have used Zoom before - [click here] to join the conversation
on [date] at [time].
*	If you have not used Zoom before - you can follow the instructions
below; and if needed, reply to this email if you'd like to join us for a
free practice session with  <http://www.teeniors.com> Teeniors to learn how
to navigate Zoom.

Zoom is an easy-to-use website on your computer at home (or an app on your
tablet/smartphone). All you need to do is click on the invitation link below
to join the "meeting". The first time you join a Zoom meeting, you will be
prompted to download Zoom software which only takes about one minute. Then
you can fully participate. When we, as the "host", start the meeting, your
screen will automatically connect and show you our faces. We're confident
you'll find this to be a fun and easy web tool to manage as we all settle in
at home for a while.

 

Here are quick instructions for downloading Zoom on your phone or tablet:

 

If you use a computer, simply visit the  <http://www.zoom.com> www.zoom.com
to "join a meeting". 

*	Again you do not have to create a Zoom account to participate in a
meeting, but you do need to download the software to your computer. There
are video tutorials and FAQs under the "Resources" tab in the top right
corner.

If you have an iPhone or iPad: 

* From the main screen, find and tap on your "App Store" icon (a blue icon,
with an odd looking A encircled).

If you have an Android phone / Tablet (Samsung and other non-Apple brands): 

* From the main screen, find and tap on your "Google Play" icon (usually
white with a colorful "play button" type triangle on it).

- On either device, you should now be in your app store, where you can
download website applications.
- Once you are in, use the search bar (or spyglass icon) to type in Zoom. 
- The Zoom app is free to download and use. 
- You will be asked for your Apple ID password or Google password to approve
the download.

- Once you have the app downloaded, you can "attend" the meeting, or any
other meeting via Zoom in the future, by clicking on the link sent to you.

 

NOTE: Downloading is one step. Creating an account is another step. You only
need to "create an account" on Zoom if you wish to create your own meetings
using Zoom. 

 

If any of the above does not work for you, please note your problem or
question so that we can arrange help for you.

 

Thank you!

 

Trish Lopez
