[TVARC] May 21 TVARC Meeting - Zoom Invitation and Link

[George]

TVARC Members,
Here are some considerations for our May 21 club meeting, which will be held via Zoom.  Near the bottom of this email is the link for you to click in order to join the meeting.  If for some reason the link does not work, you will have to enter the Meeting ID and Password manually.
1. Zoom now requires all meetings to have a password by default.
a. If you join the meeting by clicking on the link below, the password is embedded within the link and you will not need to enter it.
b. However, if you join by either opening the Zoom app or going to the Zoom website and enter the meeting ID manually, you will need to enter the password: 632383
2. All Zoom participants will now be placed in a waiting room until they are admitted to the meeting by the meeting host.  The actual club meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 EDT, but I have scheduled the Zoom session to begin at 5:30.  This will allow plenty of time for members to work out any kinks in joining and to chit-chat among themselves prior to the actual meeting (kind of like our Elmer hour).
3. Everyone joining the TVARC meeting is asked to identify themselves by first name and call sign.  If you have a Zoom account already, Zoom will automatically use the info from your account.  Most often this is whatever you entered as your first and last name in your account settings.  You have two options to change this and display your call sign:
a. In your Zoom account settings, change your last name to your call sign.  This won’t break anything in your account.  It only changes what other people see when you join meetings.
b. When you sign in to the meeting, right click on your own name in the participants list and choose Rename.  This is temporary only for that particular meeting.
4. Please remember to keep your microphone muted during the actual meeting.  Those who dial in via telephone can use #6 to toggle mute on and off.
If you do not already have Zoom loaded on your device, you can download it before the meeting.
If you have a mobile device (phone or tablet), you can download the Zoom app for free from the Apple App Store or from the Android Play Store.
If you have a desktop or a laptop, there are apps for Windows and Apple OSX.  This link should auto-detect your OS and download the appropriate version:

If you are already have the Zoom app installed, please update it on your computer or device, because Zoom has had several security updates recently.
