Zoom is a video conferencing tool that allows people from all over the world to connect and it is the tool we use for our Living Made Easy: Virtual Seminars. You can use Zoom from your smartphone, tablet or computer. To use this tool, all you need is an internet connection, video (webcam) and audio (speakers + microphone) connections. You do NOT need to join Zoom or have an account with Zoom in order to participate.
