• STEP 1: Go to the Zoom app on your computer (in the example picture it is saved under Applications) and double click on the Zoom logo to open the program. Click on "Sign in" and enter your account email address and password. If you want to stay signed in on this computer, tick the corresponding box (circled in blue) - this way the program will remember your login data; this is recommended to do on your personal computer but NOT on shared or public computers.

​​

• NOTE: if someone has sent you an email or text asking you to join a meeting, then you can choose to join a meeting directly (without signing in). But you can also join a meeting after logging in from within the platform (explained in "Join a meeting").

​

• STEP 2: When you click on "Sign in", you will see the meeting platform with your personal meeting ID and buttons to start a meeting and invite people in the middle (circled in blue). On the top you can see "Meetings" highlighted in blue, meaning that you are in this section. You can click on the other symbols to flip between the pages. Further in this tutorial we explain how to use the platform to start or join a meeting.

​

• For example, you can click on "Home" and you will find buttons to start a meeting as a host and join a meeting, amongst others. If you click on the top right symbol with your initials (here it is PT for "Paloma Talk"), a drop down menu appears with a mix of personal, admin and action settings options. You will also find the icon there for signing out.
