How to Join Our Meeting:

In Person
To join us in person, we are meeting in the ATB Place, Concourse Meeting Room.  To find us, go to the Concourse level (Food Court level) of the building and head south.  The meeting room is the last room on the right.

On-line
We meet on-line using Google Meet. You will need a PC that has a camera and audio (microphone and speakers - I use my iPhone headphones plugged into my PC). If you have a PC or Mac that runs the Chrome web browser, you can use it for Google Meet. If possible, upgrade to the latest version of Chrome that you can. It supposedly works in Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari as well, but I haven’t tried it. So my recommendation is to install the latest version of Chrome if you don’t have it, but if you can’t try one of the other browsers, maybe upgrading those to the latest version.

Google Meet also has apps for Android and iOS so you can run it on a phone or a tablet. I have used it on both over a cellular connection and it works pretty well, although of course a faster Wifi connection is better.

For those of us using a web browser, just use the link below:

https://meet.google.com/zhd-gida-krv

If using the app, enter the meeting code:

zhd-gida-krv


You don’t need to enter the dashes, just the letters.

If you can’t get the above to work, you can join audio only by dialing +1 778-746-9880 (I suspect that this number is NOT toll free so be sure you are calling from a phone that has a free long distance calling plan) and enter this PIN: 549 974 809#. To view more phone numbers, click this link https://tel.meet/zhd-gida-krv?hs=5

If you connect now (and I recommend doing so before the meeting to give you time to troubleshoot any issues), you should see:.


You don’t need to Sign In (so ignore the link in the upper right corner) If you are using Chrome and you are signed into a Gmail account, you won’t get the “What’s your name?” question, it will use the information from your Gmail account. If your camera is working, the image on the left should display what your camera is showing. To join the meeting, type in your name (if needed) and click the “Ask to join” button. Please note, if you click “Ask to join” prior to the meeting you won’t actually connect. The meeting has to be started and you have to be “admitted” to the meeting. But if you got this far, all should be good.

I recommend that everyone watch this video as it covers the basic features and although he is using a web browser, what he covers holds for the mobile app as well. You might want o ignore / skip the first 4 minutes where he talks about creating a meeting and Google Calendar as these do not apply to our usage of Google Meet:

If you plan to use the mobile app, have a look at this video too. This short video will demonstrate some of the features of the mobile app:
