Zoom Video Guide

In this video, you will learn how to join a Zoom meeting and some of the things you can do once in the meeting.

Getting Set Up

Downloading the Zoom client
The first step in setting up Zoom is downloading and installing the client. Zoom is available for Windows, Mac, Linus, ChromeOS and on mobile devices. The client can be downloaded at zoom.us/download.

Testing audio & video
Zoom will default to your system’s default microphone and speaker or headphones, however, we encourage you test out your setup before hopping into an event. You can find instructions for setting up audio here and instructions for setting up video here.

Joining a Zoom call
There are a few different ways to join a Zoom meeting. The simplest method is by visiting the meeting’s link, which will automatically launch Zoom on your device and connect you to the call. Should the link not work, you also have the option to connect via inputting the meeting ID and password. More information concerning joining Zoom calls can be found here.

Joining Welcome Weekend Events

All virtual Welcome Weekend events will be conducted over Zoom. Students will receive emails containing Zoom links, meeting IDs, and passwords for events prior to Welcome Weekend.
