Joining a session
Once you have the software/app installed, join the session on the date/time it begins
Now that you have the software or app installed, you can click on the join session link found on each individual events page. We suggest logging in a few minutes early.
Each session usually has a different join link along with a meeting ID. For some, the meeting ID may be needed. It is provided on the event page for that session.
If registration is required
There are times when we require registration for an event. It will be noted on the event itself if this is required. If so, be sure to register as soon as possible so we can get an accurate count of those attending.
After you register, you will receive an email that includes all information, including a unique join link (URL) to click a few minutes prior to the start of the session.
If you do not install Zoom ahead of time . . .
We suggest you install Zoom
If you click on a join session button and do not have the Zoom software/app installed, you will be asked to install it prior to joining the session.
If this is the case, be sure to start the process 15 minutes prior to the session start time.
