HOW TO JOIN A ZOOM MEETING BY PHONE
We are excited to be able to stay connected online! We will be hosting our weekly prayer meetings and team huddles on Zoom so we can still gather and pray together!
Your connect leader may also choose to use ZOOM to run connect meetings online.
The basic steps for joining a ZOOM meeting by phone call are:
- Your location/connect leader will provide you with an invite to the meeting, this might be via email or text. On that invite will be a meeting time, a phone number to call, and a meeting ID number.
- At the time of the meeting, simply call the phone number. An automated voice will answer and prompt you to key in your meeting ID number.
- Enter the meeting ID number on your phone key pad and press '#'.
- They will then ask you to enter a unique participant ID, you will not have one so please press '#' on your keypad.
- You will now be in the meeting! You will automatically be muted.
- To unmute yourself, press '*' followed quickly by '6'.
We will now go through the steps in more detail below:
STEP ONE
Your location/connect leader will provide you with an invite to the meeting, this might be via email or text. On that invite will be 3 things that you need:
- A meeting time
- A phone number to call (use the number that begins with +61 2 for NSW).
- A meeting ID number.
They may send you a link or URL that looks something like the image on the left below.
Simply click on it and it will take you to a webpage that will give you these details. See the image on the right for an example.
STEP TWO
At the time of the meeting, simply call the phone number. Use the number that begins with +61 2 for NSW. An automated voice will answer and prompt you to key in your meeting ID number.
STEP THREE
Enter the meeting ID number on your phone key pad and press '#'.
(There may be a delay until the automated voice talks again)
STEP FOUR
They will then ask you to enter a unique participant ID, you will not have one so please press '#' on your keypad.
STEP FIVE
You will now be in the meeting! You will automatically be muted. This is okay if you are in a large meeting, where not everyone can talk at once!
STEP SIX
To unmute yourself if you want to say something, press '*' followed quickly by '6'.
To remute yourself when you have finished talking, just do the same (press '*' then '6').
Enjoy your meeting!
