Zoom MeetingOur July meeting will be our first attempt to present a full Probus meeting on Zoom. You may be an old Zoom pro by now after 4 months of the pandemic, so you will have no problems joining in, although it may be one of the largest Zoom meetings you've be in on - it certainly will be for me.

I will be our meeting host and will email you the link for the Zoom meeting on Sunday, July 12, so that it will be reasonably fresh in your inbox.

If you have never used Zoom before but you have a computer, tablet, phone or iPad that has camera, microphone and internet connection, then you have what you need to join. The nice lady in this YouTube video will gladly guide you through the steps to become a Zoom user for the first time. Click on the following link, or highlight and copy it to your internet browser and hit enter:

https://youtu.be/9isp3qPeQ0E

If you do not have the computing power, you can still call into the meeting by phone - I'll provide the number in the email I send the day before the meeting.
