ZOOM PROCESSES TO KNOW ABOUT BEFORE THE EVENT
GUIDELINES TO HELP YOU
LOG INTO THE EVENT
 
We look forward to having you with us for the District Leadership Assembly.
 
Zoom registrations can be a bit complicated, so please review this
to help you the day of the meetings.
 
There are a couple aspects of the Zoom platform we want to point out to help you and our technical folks have a good experience.
 
These will help you from the registration process through logging into the session.
 
Please read these before proceeding to registration and keep them for reference:
1.  Update your Zoom desktop client (PC, Mac, or Linux)
If you have the Zoom desktop client installed, please check for updates: Sign in using your Zoom desktop client. Click your profile picture then click Check for Updates. If there is a newer version, Zoom will download and install it.
If you do not do this, some features of zoom may not be available, including joining breakout rooms.
 
2. During registration:  it is critical that you register using the email address that you will use the day of the sessions.  This will be linked to your unique login registration link.
 
3. After registering: you will receive a confirmation email from RotaryDistrict6630@neo.rr.com which will contain information about how to join the meetings. 

4. SAVE the confirmation email as it will contain a personal link that is unique to only you.  You will use that link to join the meeting (see below sample).  Do NOT share the link with anyone else. 
 
Remember:
  • Update your Zoom desktop client.
  • Watch for the confirmation email.
  • Save the confirmation email.
  • Do not share the confirmation email.
  • Log into the zoom platform to join the meeting using the same email you used when you registered.
  • Use the personal link in the confirmation email when you login to the meetings.
  • We are unable to make the link any larger on the confirmation so the graphic below will show you where to find your link for the meeting.
