Family History Society of Arizona Upcoming programs on Zoom:  See News/Events


GETTING STARTED WITH ZOOM - You may connect by using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile telephone.  Each type of device will participate in the meeting a little differently.  For tablet and mobile you may want to download the Zoom App. You can download the Zoom Client app.  For iOS devices look in the app store for “Zoom Cloud Meetings” and for Android it’s in Google Play.  Alternately you can get the download at https://ZOOM.us/download#client_4meeting
 
Here is a link to a 1 minute YouTube Video "How to Join a Zoom Meeting."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkCmbvAHQQ
If you just want to sit in on a Zoom meeting all you need is the ability to watch a video on your computer. If you want to participate you need a microphone. Many computers have a speaker and a microphone built in. If yours does not, you can obtain a headset with a boom microphone. External speakers will improve your experience. If you want to be seen by others you need a web camera. If your computer does not have a camera you can purchase one.
There is a good video tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_8vQDfSzdY
And zoom.us has some demonstrations.
To run a test of your setup type zoom.us/test into your search bar.
