Tips for participation in Zoom sessions

  • Update your Zoom client to the latest version. The zoom app takes 5 minutes to install, so please set it up before the sessions. 
  • Please join the sessions before they start (we have 60 minutes for that), so we can assist you if you experience any issue.
  • Please use your real name or nickname, so we can know who you are and let you in. You can change your name after you have joined.
  • Please use headphones with microphone rather bluetooth headphones where possible.
  • Please mute your microphone when entering a session and unmute only when you want to speak.
  • If you need a break during the sessions, take it.
