If you register for an Extension Zoom event, you will be sent an email with instructions for joining. The instructor will guide you in using the platform. Your experience in Zoom will differ somewhat depending on your device.
Prior to the webinar or meeting (optional): Join a test meeting to test your internet connection, audio and video settings.
Sometimes taking online courses through a phone or mobile connection can be difficult. A computer and a good internet connection can help.
