ATTENDEE CHECKLIST

BEFORE DAY 1

ZOOM PREP

  • Consider plugging into your modem via an Ethernet cable/DSL versus using wifi.
  • If possible, use a laptop or desktop computer. They provide a better Zoom experience and generally work better with Zoom than mobile devices.
  • Download and/or update your Zoom Client for Meetings.
  • Test your audio and video via Zoom. It sets up a test meeting just for you to see and hear yourself.
  • Need help? Before 10/15, contact the Office with Zoom as the subject and we can arrange a test session.
