[crw-talk] Zoom Meeting how to

[James Bloomer]

Good evening, I have seen a few requests regarding using Zoom in general
and as a possible use for us to at least meet virtually. I am definitely in
favor of this.
For those unfamiliar with zoom and its use;
1.It is free to use and can be used on either a smart phone or computer.
2. you can either download the application/program or even just dial a
phone # if you dont want to use data or dont have a data plan. (you would
not be able to view any video just hear audio)
3, the free account allows up to 100 members and a limit of 40 minutes for
a meeting. The next level allows some storage and social media streaming as
well as longer meeting times

How it would unfold;
1.The host would set up a meeting and send out a link via email/text
2. you would click on the link(I would recommend that you already set up
Zoom on the device of your choice to make it happen faster
3. depending on how the link was set up it should take you directly into
the meeting. you can turn on a webcam if you wish or not.

If you go to the Zoom website it has walkthroughs to help guide you in its
use.

I have set up a zoom account with pro already to host meetings. Depending
on how the membership feels about its use after a few tries we can look
into something specifically for the club's use.
I would like to try an officers meeting this thursday at 1800(6pm) and then
a full meeting Saturday at 1000 to at least try to keep with our normal
schedule.  I will send out invites 1 hour prior. It will include all the
info to dial into via phone(Chicago #).

Please let me know if this will work for both officers and members.

In service
