Download the Zoom Cloud app on your mobile device (tablet, iPad, or phone) before the shower, January 31st. Go to your App or Play Store and search for Zoom. This should only take a few minutes.
If you plan to connect via desktop (recommended), it will automatically install when you click on the meeting link.
You may need to enter the Meeting ID and password which will be emailed to you. Email Mary at [email protected] if you have not received it an hour before the event.
You do not have to login. Simply download the app, JOIN the meeting, then enter Meeting ID and password.

That's it! I've included some more details below, if needed :)
General Tips
If possible, try to use an iPad or computer. The screen on the mobile phone is small, however if you are going to use a mobile phone please hold the phone horizontally. Holding the phone horizontally will allow you to see as much as possible.
A good internet connection is most important. Try to stay near the router, if possible. If you exit the Zoom app (toggle to another screen), the reception gets choppy.
Make sure the volume is on and turned up.
Within Zoom, you can use Speaker View (only see the person speaking), or Gallery View (see everyone).
