Zoom is an online video conferencing platform that has become the go-to for many organisations to keep things going during lockdown. Whether you wish to use it to run meetings for your Committee, or to host lectures for your Membership, please find below a selection of The Arts Society's own video tutorials and how-to guides to help you get started.
It's worth noting that in all of these video tutorials, the Zoom scheduling is being done via a web-browser (For example, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari), and all views in-meeting/webinar are via the Zoom app accessed via my Microsoft laptop.
A quick note: many of our training resources cover third-party platforms and so are representative of the platform at the time the resource was created. We endeavour to keep all our training resources as up-to-date as possible, so if you spot something in a video or on a document that has been redesigned or changed since the time it was uploaded here, please let us know and we'll update it as soon as we can.
