The MLMA will be using Zoom to allow meetings to be held remotely. This guide explains how you can join and participate in a Zoom meeting.
To join a Zoom meeting you will need a computer, tablet or smart phone with a working internet connection. The Zoom client software will also need to be installed on the device you plan to use. You can download the Zoom software at https://zoom.us/download.
You will also need a microphone in order to speak at the meeting and, optionally, a camera.
To join a meeting follow the link sent to you by the MLMA. You should normally just be able to click on it. Otherwise copy and paste it into your web browser’s address bar. You do not need to create your own Zoom account, you can join the meeting as a guest by following the link.
When you follow the link, your browser will normally ask if it should open it in an application. Make sureĀ “Zoom” is selected and click on Open Application. The Zoom client should then start.
When you join the meeting your microphone will normally be muted. It is good etiquette to mute your microphone when you are not speaking as it reduces noise for other participants. Don’t forget to unmute when you do wish to speak.
