NEW DAY:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2020
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. MDT
COVID Communications: The New World of ZOOM Calls & Meetings
In the midst of the new COVID-19 world that we find ourselves in, many working from home and safe-distancing a key priority, the way we communicate has changed as well. ‘Zoom’ calls and meetings have become an accepted part of our days. But as important as our ability to communicate effectively has become, most of us are still pretty much operating in the ‘Brady Bunch’ screen mode level when it comes to our understanding of the Zoom calls and meetings that we participate in. This important webinar will show you some of the many other tools, features and options that you have at your fingertips with Zoom. Learn how you might use these applications to upgrade your own meetings and calls and how to maximize your participation in those hosted by others. If we are going to be in this recovery phase for the foreseeable future, we should at least maximize our capabilities!
(This specific COVID-19 Forum will be presented on Zoom.)
