* Need Support to Join the Zoom Meeting?:

  • Follow these instructions How to Join a Zoom Meeting provided at Zoom.com.
  • If you still have difficulty, Zoom has the best customer service. Call 888.799.5926 and a real person at Zoom will answer the call and take care of what you need. They are amazing! However, they may have longer wait times due to the unusually high usage during this time.
  • (I will not be able to personally support you in this process since I don’t have the resources to extend this help to everyone.)
