Cathy,
Thanks so much for these links!  I can't begin to say how much I've gotten from these links.  And so much more to explore!  Very useful information.  Thanks for sharing!

> How to join a zoom meeting
> 
> Each meeting has a unique 9, 10, or 11-digit number called a meeting ID that will be required to join a Zoom meeting. If you are joining via telephone, you will need the teleconferencing number provided in the invite.
> 
> In order to join a Zoom meeting, you will need an invite from the person or organization running the meeting. The meeting invite is usually delivered via email. You will have a description of the meeting, followed by the date and time, and finally the links and phone info to join the meeting.
> 
>  
> 
> The most low-tech way to join a meeting is to just pick up the phone and dial. The tricky part is that you will have to dial the phone number, meeting ID, and a pin number, given a limited amount of time, to gain access to the meeting. Though this is low tech, it does require multiple steps to complete successfully.

> The next option, and the easiest, is to just use the zoom invite link. This is the first zoom related meeting link that you will find. This process will work on a computer and smartphone. If you do not have the zoom client and/or app installed, you will be prompted to download the zoom software for your device.
> 
> The link will look something like:
> 
> https://zoom.us/test
> 
>  
> 
> You can also join a meeting within the Zoom software. You will need to open Zoom and find the Join button. You will then need to enter or copy/paste the meeting info into the appropriate boxes.

> The next way that you can join a Zoom meeting is via the provided one tap phone number link. This is great if you are on a smartphone, but you do not want to deal with installing any Zoom software. This will treat the meeting like a traditional conference call, and will automatically dial the phone number, meeting ID, and pin for you. These one tap numbers are handy, but note that Sometimes the link may not work correctly—not sure what causes this to happen, but I have noticed it with meetings requiring passwords in particular.

> I think it is a good idea to download the Zoom software on your devices before joining a Zoom meeting. While it is true that you’ll be prompted to download and install the software, this gives you a bit more control over the process. Then, when you do join the meeting, it will be a little quicker and smoother.
