Connection

The Zoom welcome window consists of two buttons. The purpose of the first is more than obvious, but the second is needed to log into your account. So, registration on this platform is optional. It is needed only in a number of cases:

• Detailed profile setting.
• Organization of your own conferences.
• Making a paid subscription.
• Priority support.
• Etc.

If, nevertheless, you need a personal account on the Zoom platform, then register it according to our instructions.

But the connection to the conference is not included in this list; it can be done without an account, and in two different ways.

First way:

1. Open a special link in a browser that the organizer will send.
2. Agree to launch the required application.
3. Set a name that other participants will see.
4. Click on the blue button.
5. Wait for permission to connect.

Second way:

1. Open the Zoom client on your PC.
2. Click on the «Join a Meeting» button.
3. In the top box, enter conference ID.
4. In the column below – your name.
5. Mute audio or video if desired.
6. Click on «Join».
7. When prompted, enter the passcode and click on the login button again.
