Zoom Set Up Instructions

- Q&A During the live-stream Q&As, please follow this protocol to ask a question: click Participants at the bottom and then you will see an option at the bottom right to “raise your hand.” This is how Rod will manage your questions; when it’s your turn, he’ll ask you to unmute yourself and turn on your video. We ask that you limit your entries into the chat feature, only using it during times designated by Rod. This will help minimize potential distractions for all participants.
- Live-streams will open 10 minutes before the scheduled start. We strongly recommend you join early and test your connection.
- Optimizing your wifi: setting up close to your router will improve your connectivity.
- Whenever possible, access the sessions using a laptop or desktop. Mobile compatibility is not available on all devices.
- Super Helpful Tip! It is recommended that you access the sessions using the Google Chrome browser. Safari and Explore browsers are not currently supported by Zoom.
- Should you have audio issues: there are various reasons why someone might not be able to hear the audio, including what hardware they are using, their browser, their browser’s security settings, and other IT permissions. Make sure your browser is allowing audio and video. In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Site Settings (under Privacy and Security) > Sound > Allow Sites To Play Sound.
- Make sure to have the latest version of Zoom running.
