How to use Zoom for a Button Up presentation
General User Requirements:
- Internet access (WiFi or better), web browser & email address
- Computer (preferred) or tablet with sound (smart phone screens are too small)
- Computer-based microphone (recommended), or telephone access
- Optional: web video cam (will use sparingly — can be an Internet bandwidth issue.)
Zoom Setup:
You will be viewing slides and interacting with the instructor in real time via an Internet-based Zoom Meeting computer window. Think of this Zoom window like a screen in a classroom. You also need to hear and interact with the instructor, and preferably with a microphone.
Check out this one minute video on joining Zoom meetings. It is also a good way to test your Internet connection:

Meeting ID: ### ### ##### (10 digit meeting ID #)
One tap mobile (Only use if dialing in via smart phone – not recommended)

+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)
+1 (other telephone numbers)

You can also test your visual and audio connection before the meeting officially starts, either by:
- Joining a Zoom test meeting: https://zoom.us/test
- Joining the actual Zoom meeting before it starts, and test features
Zoom Tips:
- If not familiar with Zoom, set it up before the meeting time. It can take a couple of minutes.
- With device-based audio, the Zoom web link should be all you need to connect to the class.
- Zoom controls are typically at the bottom of Zoom screen, particularly audio on the left. Use the “test your audio connection” feature, both for speakers/headphones as well as microphone.
- Zoom has a “Chat” feature, with text messages that can go to everyone or just to the instructor
