Facts and Zoom Tips

Technology Needs for Online Sessions:

Technology needs for online sessions are fairly basic. At a minimum, you should have access to the following:

  • A personal computer with a fairly recent operating system, Windows or MacOS.
    This can be a laptop or a desktop. Tablets are acceptable. If you cannot access through your computer or mobile you can dial in to zoom audio using your phone.
  • An up-to-date Web browser.
  • A webcam, microphone, and headphones.
    We recommend using the built-in microphone in your computer and earbuds or headphones. Depending upon your computer, you may also wish to consider a microphone headset. The better the microphone and headphone quality, the better your experience will be. Also if you do not have a webcam built into your computer, webcams are inexpensive and will enhance your experience in the session.
  • Wired internet connection.
    We very strongly recommend using a wired connection to the Internet for your online courses. This can be as simple as connecting your computer to a network port on your cable modem or router with a network cable. We do not recommend using home wi-fi unless absolutely necessary. Do not use public wi-fi (at a Starbuck’s for example), a cellular data connection, or a dial-up Internet connection.

Whenever you are Zooming, please remember to keep these simple rules in mind.

Do:

  • Make sure you are in a quiet, private, and well-lit space at least 5 minutes before the scheduled session start time. If other people are in your location, please be in a room by yourself.
  • Ensure that your computer is up to date, has a stable internet connection, and a working webcam and microphone.
  • If in a support group session, be courteous to your fellow students; please mute your microphone until you need to speak to reduce excess noise.
  • Be respectful of Individual Members and the Spiritual Care Counselor
  • Arrive on time so that you can get the full benefit of the session.

Dont

  • Do not do anything you would not do in a public setting. You can always turn off your video if you do not want to be seen.
  • Do not text, private chat, or be otherwise engaged in cross-talk
  • If you have your video on, please do not wander around the room/house while on zoom, please stay seated in one place.
  • Do not have private conversations in front of the computer; assume that if the computer is in the room, the camera is recording at all times
