Zoom

Could someone please explain to me how to use Zoom on the computer.
The computer is switched on, so what do I do next ?

 

Have you downloaded the program?
Next step is to Email the person you wish to zoom with and invite them to join you.
Unless you have received an invite, in which case you need to click on the invitation.

 

Thanks for your reply. I don't know of any program and I wouldn't know how to download it. If you or someone could explain that to me I would be grateful.

 

This link shows several tutorials to get going with Zoom, have a quick look at a few and see which one is at your pace as some assume you know more that others.

Thank you, I'll have a look in a minute ...

 

On a side note, Zoom, Skype and Teams video calls are an incredibly good addition to our means of keeping in touch.

We three siblings have a weekly Skype call with our Dad (83) and it makes all the difference. In spite of the distance we are closely connected to each other's daily life, and even though my siblings live near our Dad they meet more often over Skype than in real life.

Plus my young niece often pops in to show a new drawing or a toy to us all.

The technology sometimes trips us up but once everything is set up it's fairly easy. These things are designed for humans.

 

During Covid work started using Zoom, then migrated to Teams.
The result some colleagues spend almost all day in Teams meetings with headphones on, not contributing more than a few sentences and spending the time playing with their phones.

 

I think it's a good thing if used correctly. I am not good with gadgets but I wish I was ...

 

They're on about Zoom US. Is there a Zoom UK. I tried googling it but got nowhere.
Is the US one all right for this country ?.

 

Thank for your help, I have joined the free version. I'll leave it now until I want to contact someone.

Is there a way of saving it on my computer because I don't think I could find it again ?
