What You Need Before Starting

Step 2: Wait for Zoom to Open

• Your computer may ask "Open Zoom?" - click "Yes" or "Open"

Step 3: Choose How to Join Audio

• A box will appear asking about audio
• Click "Join with Computer Audio" (this is usually the best choice)

Step 4: Turn On Your Video (Optional)

• Look for a small camera icon at the bottom of your screen
• If it has a red line through it, click once to turn your camera on
• Don't worry if you prefer to keep it off - you can still participate!

Step 5: You're In!

• You should now see other church members on your screen
• To hear better, use headphones or turn up your volume
• Wave hello to everyone!
