For some, Zoom is an already essential part of your workplace but for the rest of us, Zoom might as well be a book written in a foreign language. Here’s GPFF’s handy-dandy guide to getting onto our meetings for the time being and soon you’ll be able to see old friends and forget about the worries of the world for one evening. Step 1: You will receive by email a link to that month’s meeting. Make sure you save this email or star it or add it into your calendar. On the day of, be sure to click on the link. It will take you to a landing page on zoom’s website.

Step 3: You should see this screen now that zoom is open. If you are unsure you can hear or concerned your microphone isn’t working, click on Test Speaker and Microphone. When ready, click Join with Computer audio.
