Zoom is a video and telephone conferencing service that allows individuals to use either the Zoom app (web, desktop, mobile) or a dial-in number to interact with other individuals on a call. It also allows for screen sharing and other interactive features.
DEF uses Zoom on our weekly Leadership Team calls each Monday night, as well as for other team calls and functions. The ability to have people dial in either way makes it flexible for people traveling, and it also allows the opportunity to record meetings, either for later viewing or, in the event of an online community event, sharing online.
DEF schedules calls using a shared Zoom Pro account. You do not need this information to join a Zoom call, you can either use a personal Zoom account (such as one connected to your G Suite email) or just join the call without an account.
However, if you need to schedule a Zoom call, someone on the Operations Team can give you the log-in info (though, unless you need to record the call, it is much easier to use Google Meet).
A couple of tips for using the shared Zoom Pro credentials across the team:
- Be sure to log-out when you're done scheduling so as not to interfere with other users or future calls.
- Once a meeting is scheduled, anyone can join at the appointed time using the link without a host needing to join.

Once you have the Zoom App (download here for desktop and mobile), joining a call and using Zoom are pretty simple ventures. Familiarizing yourself with the tools, like Chat, Mute, Screen Share and other buttons will help meetings go smoothly, and these are available each week during the Leadership Team Call.
Here are a few videos that walk through basic features:
