Zoom help for new Users
We've just started using Zoom Software (https://zoom.us/download) for some of our meetings. If you've not used it before this maybe helpful if you have any problems. Generally speaking Zoom works well for most people, so you shouldn't expect problems.
1. You can start a test meeting before you use it here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002262083-Joining-a-Test-Meeting
You will have to click the button "Join" to enter the test meeting.
2. Testing the Audio - You can do this in the above meeting, or you can also do this by clicking "Setting" then select "Audio"
3. Testing the Video - https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-uso/articles/201362313-How-Do-I-Test-My-Video-
4. Zoom Support, Video tutorials etc. is here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us
If you have any other suggestions, links etc, advice that will help others; I'll add it in too.

Zoom Software https://zoom.us/download
Starting 2025, with the paid for classes, students have to message me if they cancel a class that they had previously said they were going to. Students have to send that cancellation message before the end of that class, otherwise they are charged for the class.
