Before a videoconference

2. You will receive notice for a videoconference or conference call from DaMar team memeber. The notification will include a link to “Join via computer” as well as phone numbers for a conference call option. It will also include the 9-digit (usually) Meeting ID.

To join the videoconference

1. At the start time of your meeting, click on the link in your invitation to join via computer. You may be instructed to download the Zoom application.

2. You have an opportunity to test your audio at this point by clicking on “Test Computer Audio.” Once you are satisfied that your audio works, click on “Join audio by computer.”

You may also join a meeting without clicking on the invitation link by going to join.zoom.us on any browser and entering the Meeting ID provided by from DaMar team memeber.
