We invite you to join us in a virtual session to learn basics of the Zoom video-conferencing application and its many features. Zoom is an 'app' that you download and install on your computer, tablet, or phone.
The result is like a phone call, but you and the other person(s) can see, as well as hear, each other. Many individuals - the who family- can participate! If yu have a computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and microphone, you are already equipped. If you have been using your device for FaceTime or Skype, yu are also able to Zoom.
We will work with you prior to the scheduled session to make sure you are comfortable joining a Zoom meeting. Following registration, you will receive information on how to connect, tips for preparing for the virtual get-together, and one-on-one assistance if needed. For a taste of what you will experience and learn, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh50kVaIdAY
