What do I need to get started?
To use Zoom, you need three things:
1. A smart device (computer, tablet, or smartphone)
2. A stable internet connection
3. The Zoom application installed on your device
You likely already have the first two of these three steps already, so you will need to install the Zoom application.
How do I install Zoom?
Depending on the type of device you are using, the process to install the Zoom application will be different.
- From a Windows-based computer/PC:
- Open your internet browser, and go to this website: https://zoom.us/download
- Under “Zoom Workplace for Windows” select “Download (64-bit)”
- From a Mac laptop/computer:
- Open the App Store, search for “Zoom” and select “Install;” follow any prompts as needed
- For mobile devices (smartphones/tablets):
- Open the App Store (Apple) or Google Play Store (Android) search for “Zoom,” and tap “Install”
Helpful Hint:
Before your first Zoom meeting/class, it is wise to test that you can get into Zoom without any issues:
· Click on the Zoom meeting invite link that was shared with you, such as a link sent in an email or from the course/meeting web page here.
· The first time you click on a Zoom link, you may receive a message asking, "Do you want to allow this website to open 'zoom.us?’
· Click "Always Allow"
