Anyone not familiar with Zoom .... I would suggest you do a 'dry run' today to just make sure you can 'get on'.
A good idea is to 'log on' at least 15-30 mins BEFORE the 'start time' as sometimes there are hiccups & it can take a while to get logged in. If people are arriving late, it can be a bit disrupting - and they also miss the important start of the meeting, which is Kirsten addressing the attendees.
For the dry run - Just click on the Link above - You MAY have to open/download an 'zoom app' or it may open on your computer window
It should tell you to 'launch the meeting' for the dry run (tho chances are this evening, it will already be 'launched') - click on that & it should ask you to 'join by video' & you will then see yourself sitting in front of your computer! Make sure your Computer Camera isn't obscured by anything.
When a bunch of us are signed up this evening, it is good to see the whole group. Up the top right corner, there should be 3 sets of boxes .... a single square, a double square & a set of 4 squares .... click on the 4 squares to see everybody - otherwise you may just see the speaker.
If you DON'T want to show your face, you can opt NOT to use the video and I think it just shows an icon. Kirsten's assistant will be controlling the Mute Button and will explain how to 'get on' to have your say.
It will probably show your REAL name initially - you should be able to change that to your BCNA name, by clicking on one of the options (either top right or bottom right.) I think this option will only become available when the meeting is active.
So ... Get your pen & paper with any questions - and if they haven't been addressed by Kirsten in her opening comments ..... see you there tonight!
