Download the Zoom Cloud app on your mobile device (tablet, iPad, or phone) before the shower, Feb 6th. Go to your App or Play Store and search for Zoom. This should only take a few minutes.
It is recommended to use a computer desktop, if possible. Your computer will automatically install Zoom when you click on the meeting link.
A reminder Zoom link with password will be emailed the morning of Feb 6th. It will include the same information as above.
That's it! I've included some more details below, if needed :)
General Tips
If possible, try to use an iPad, tablet or computer. The screen on the mobile phone is small, however if you are using 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).
