Zoom
Zoom is an online tool for video and audio conferencing. The audience can participate by computer or by telephone. The presenter is usually connected by video and microphone. Other participants may be able to see and hear each other, depending on each participant’s technology.
For more information, Zoom has an online quick start guide at
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360034967471-Quick-start-guide-for-new-users
The two most useful sections in the guide are:
• “Signing up and activating your Zoom account: Create your own account”
AND
• “Joining another user’s meeting.”
