How to join a Zoom meeting?

 

To join a Zoom meeting, your host (Kelly Martin) first has to create a meeting and share the invite URL or meeting ID. You should have received this in your Welcome email. You do not need a Zoom login to join a meeting, all you need is that meeting URL or ID. 

​

Once the facilitator starts the meeting, participants can join. The facilitator will jump on a few minutes ahead of time for anyone wanting to jump in early just to be sure and will provide plenty of time for others to join. Especially for the first online session.

 

In the event of technical issues please send an email describing your issue to shapebumpandbeyond@gmail.com and we will endeavour to support you to log in. There are a few different ways you can access Zoom so read through the different options and choose the best one for you.
