Zoom Meeting Tips
You’ve received a Zoom Meeting invitation, what now?
In the days leading up to the meeting...
- Click the Zoom Meeting link in the days leading up to your meeting.
Zoom will download, this should only take a few seconds, and launch you into the meeting. If you are having any issues with this there are some more detailed download instructions here.
- When the Zoom window launches a box will pop up in the centre of your screen. Click the green button to ‘Join with Computer Audio’ .
- You can now click the up arrow ‘^’ next to the mic icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Zoom window and select ‘Test Speaker & Microphone’. This will allow you to make sure you can hear and be heard.
- Zoom support page will answer any questions and help troubleshoot issues.
- Familiarize yourself with the Chat feature. During the meeting presentation, attendees will be muted to avoid background noise. You can submit questions via the chat feature in Zoom.
- Note: If your computer does not have a microphone, you will need to dial into the meeting with a phone to be able to participate in introductions.
Day of the Meeting
- Join early – 5 minutes or more before the meeting start time
