Using Zoom
Before the Meeting
We will be using Zoom. You can join with a PC/Mac Application or web browser, mobile device, or phone. Before joining a Zoom meeting on a computer or mobile device, you can download the Zoom app from the Zoom Download Center. Otherwise, you will be prompted to download and install Zoom when you click a join link.
You can also join a test meeting to familiarize yourself with Zoom.
Joining the Meeting
This video link discusses how to join a meeting through an email invite from the application, browser, or from a landline or cell phone. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-meeting
When you join the conference, you will enter a waiting room. The waiting room allows the meeting host to control when participants join the meeting by placing them in a waiting room. This allows the host to ensure all participants are invited participants.
In the Meeting

Be sure to mute your mic (lower-left corner of your screen) as soon as you sign on and whenever you are not speaking. This helps avoid background noise and distractions for others.

Speaker questions?
There will be time for Q+A after each speaker so to please stay muted until the host calls for questions. Use Chat or Raise your Hand (see below) if you want to get a question in while the Speaker is talking.
