• All participants will be muted on entry. Please DO NOT unmute yourself or cut off the speaker at anytime during the Session • Please remain on MUTE at all times. The trainer will unmute you if required. The Host will explain how you can communicate when asking a question
•Gallery View shows everyone in the meeting. Speaker View shows only the speaker and minimizes everyone else. For learning, it is best to choose speaker view so you are not distracted by others.
•For The Best Zoom Experience • It is best to use Zoom on a desktop / laptop computer.
• Have a strong wifi signal: You need a good ADSL or wifi signal to ensure the Zoom meeting streams smoothly. An Ethernet connection is always best but wifi is also fine. • Make sure nothing else is draining the bandwidth of your internet connection while you are on Zoom.
Close down all programs on your computer except zoom to ensure the best learning and connection experience.

IMPORTANT:
You may be prompted to check your audio & video settings once you log on. ALWAYS check your settings at the prompt. Otherwise you can go into the settings in your profile & select Audio. Press the test speaker & test microphone to ensure you have sound. Note: check that you haven’t got audio connected to headphones or earbuds that you aren’t actually wearing.
Do the same for your video if you cannot see the trainer on the screen or yourself. During meetings it is desirable to your face on camera.
