Requirements

Internet Connection

Plan ahead for Zoom meetings, and as often as possible, join Zoom meetings from a location where you can use a fast, reliable, wired Internet connection.

  • Wired connections are better than wireless (Wi-Fi) connections.
  • Wi-Fi connections are better than cellular (3G/4G/LTE) connections.

Wi-Fi connections might disrupt live video streaming. If you have to use Wi-Fi, make sure that you sit close to the Wi-Fi access point and have full antenna reception.

Computer

For teachers; a desktop or a laptop computer equipped with a webcam and headphones jack will be best.

For students; as above, but any computer or tablet or smart phone will do.

Software

Zoom software installed. Zoom software is available for Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, and Android operating systems: https://zoom.us/support/download
