Setting up
For Youth each week we will be meeting online using a platform called Zoom. Here are some tips and instructions for getting set up with it.
As the host, I will have full access to mute students’ video or audio, allow students to join the group, and the group will end when I exit the meeting. It is a safe way for our group to meet and allows us to continue to build our community.
Joining Zoom is simple and free.
