An email is sent to members on the day of the meeting
OR you can download and use the app which can also be better…

*(we will send out an ‘invite’ with link via email to current members on or before the meeting nights)

A FEW TIPS & FAQs
What sort of equipment do I need?
A laptop with a camera is probably best – unless you have a camera on a desktop machine. (using headphones or earphones with mic can be helpful too)
What sort of internet connection do I need?
Broadband or NBN is ideal – most wireless internet should also work well – the more bandwidth the better
If you are using mobile internet you will need at least 4G
How much internet does Zoom meetings use?
This will depend partly on your equipment (including camera) as well as your internet connection…
In broad terms, however, a 1 hour meeting could use about 500Mb and possibly up to 1Gb.
OTHER TIPS
- If you can elevate or prop up your laptop, pad or phone ideally near to eye level – with the light (window or room lights) shining on you, not behind you.
- Clean your screen near your camera so everyone can see you properly (ipad or phone – this will be the one on the same side as your screen and is only a 1-2mm ‘spot’)
- Try and join 5 minutes earlier so you are ready to go. ie check your camera (video) and audio
