Get to Know ZOOM

Our program uses Zoom® for our live, instructor-led online classes. Zoom® is easy to use but it is important for you to become familiar with some of the Zoom® features before you start class. 

Join a Zoom® 

You can use Zoom® on a smartphone, computer, laptop and tablet. The Zoom® app is easy to download and install.

The first time you click on a link that we send you, the Zoom® app will automatically install.

Take a look at this tutorial on Joining a Meeting to see how to join a meeting when the instructor sends you a Zoom® link.

When Your Audio or Video Doesn't Work

Maybe you can't hear the instructor -- or the instructor can't hear you.
