[NFBV-Discuss] ECarroll Zoom short course

[Patrick Johnson]

Joe,

I suspect the short course will be using the Zoom app, and I have not
researched to see if the app has backwards compatability with Win 7.

The camera issue is a seperate one to itself.  Does your computer have
an internal or external webcam?  Most modern computers do, but cameras
were additional on older machines.

Two things to check before signing up for the course.
* Does your computer have a working webcam?
* Research to see if the Zoom app is compatable with your version of Windows.

Best of luck,

Patrick
