STEP 1

First, click on the link below which will open the Zoom website in a new window:

Once the Zoom Download page opens, click the Download button under the heading “Zoom Desktop Client” as pictured.

STEP 2

Next, a box will open asking you to save the application to your downloads folder.  Click SAVE.

STEP 3

Once you’ve clicked SAVE, the application will show up in the bottom of your screen (as pictured). 

Click on the application (as circled) and it will open the Installer.

STEP 4

The Installer will open in a new box as pictured.

Click on the CONTINUE button to run the installation.

STEP 5

Next, click on the INSTALL button and allow the Installer to run until completed.

STEP 6

The Installer will run and automatically install the application to your computer.  During this process, follow any instructions it gives you until complete.

STEP 8

To join a meeting on our website:  when a meeting is ready to start, click on the Zoom Button (as pictured) and it will automatically join you on our live Zoom meeting.  Note, it will only join you when a meeting is live and in progress.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sometimes technology can get glitchy and the Zoom meeting won’t open or allow you in. If any of these happen or if it asks for a password, simply close the window down and try again or try on a new browser.  Unfortunately, we have no control over Zoom and do our best to make joining as easy as possible.
