Not everyone feels comfortable using online video tools, but we have made sure that Club events are as easy as possible to join.
- You don’t need a Zoom account
- You don’t need to install the Zoom app if you’re using a computer
- You can join from any device with internet access – computer, tablet or smartphone. Remember to turn on (or up) your loudspeaker (or headphones) to hear the talk
