ZOOM is a web-based video conferencing tool that allows users to meet online, with or without video on your device: smart phone, IPad, laptop or computer. Understanding that ZOOM may be new to our members, we are providing simple, yet precise instructions on “How to ZOOM!”  And, you can learn more about this at ZOOM.us.

HOW TO ZOOM A CFWS MEETING:

First, look for an emailed invitation. The email will contain the logon information for the ZOOM meeting.

Second, get the ZOOM app and give it a try. Before joining a ZOOM meeting on a computer or mobile device, you must download the ZOOM application from the app store. Otherwise, you will be prompted to download and install the ZOOM app when you click the join link that will be provided in an email before the meeting start.

You can  join a test meeting  at zoom.us/test.  There are youtube demos for beginners such as: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=9isp3qPeQ0E.

JOINING THE DAY OF THE MEETING:

Look for an email ZOOM meeting invite from Pam Merle, CFWS president, prior to the day of the meeting containing your Meeting ID and then:
1. Go to Zoom.us or open your downloaded app;
2. Select the “Join a Meeting” tab;
3. When prompted, add your designated Meeting ID (a 9, 10, or 11-Digit number), that was provided in the invitation email;
4. Once entered, you are in the meeting;
5. Click on “participate” to open a side panel where you can text chat with others.
