Information on Zoom

Instructions for using Zoom https://zoom.us/

Zoom is a video conferencing over the web that allows us to meet up, see each other, and join in the discussion together, whether we are on a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone.

Setting up Zoom is easy, and worth preserving. Don’t worry – it’s OK to be late to a meeting!

If you are struggling to work it out, please get in touch and ask for help.
