Or Shalom Online
Get Ready to ZOOM
Or Shalom is going to be meeting, praying, and studying remotely for the next few weeks at least. Zoom online meeting software is the primary way we are going to connect. Zoom lets groups of people talk together, see each other, and share exhibits like text and pictures. Every Or Shalom member should have Zoom on their computer and/or phone. It's free, it's quick, it's easy.
If you are new to Zoom, you will install the Zoom software on your machine right before your first Zoom get-together. You only have to do this installation once.
If you just want to hear the audio of the get-together, or if your computer doesn't have a microphone and you want to participate verbally, you can call the phone number that will be given along with the link. No software installation necessary. Phone numbers and meeting IDs can be found on the website calendar.
