JOINING THE WEBINAR:

  • Please use the Zoom Desktop Application which has been downloaded to your computer or mobile device. If you are using a company-issued computer and Zoom is not already installed, we recommend you contact your HelpDesk and request that they install and test the software.
  • You can also participate by downloading the application on a personal device so that you will be able to change and manage settings. You may log in from two different devices. For example, you may use the web application to view the webinar and also log into the course from another device to respond to polling questions.
  • If you are accessing Zoom via the web, the following browsers are recommended:
    • Google Chrome
    • Mozilla Firefox
