A FEW NOTES BEFORE CONNECTING ON ZOOM . . .

• You may need to enable your video and microphone every time.

• When you connect, you will be placed in a "waiting room."  This is a security feature to ensure only participants can join our meeting.  Once in the waiting room, wait for Pastor Mike to admit you to our meeting.

• Use your real name (at least your first name) when signing on so we know how to address each other, and so that Pastor Mike knows who he is admitting to the meeting.  You can change your name by clicking on the "Participants" button. 

• We communicate online as we do in person, with respect for one another and speaking as Jesus would have spoken.

TIPS, TRICKS, AND TROUBLESHOOTING:

• Sometimes the bar with the buttons disappears.  To bring it up again, tap the screen (or your mouse) to make it reappear.

• The audio tends to work better if you have a headset or earbuds with a microphone, such as the one that comes with smartphones. 

• Once you've joined and said "Hi," we encourage you to mute your microphone by tapping the mic button so we don't pick up a lot of feedback and distracting noises from lots of people.  

• By default, the person who is speaking (or making the most noise) will automatically move to the big video in the center.  To see everyone at once, click the gallery button with little squares in it near the upper right corner.

• You can see a list of the participants by clicking the participants button at the bottom of the screen.

• You can change your displayed name by clicking the participants button, which will pop up a list of participants and the option to rename yourself.
