To use Zoom on a laptop or computer you will need:

  • A computer or laptop which has speakers, a microphone and a video camera. If your laptop doesn't have a video camera, you can buy these inexpensively. You can also join a Zoom meeting without a camera but we don't recommend it.

  • If your computer doesn't have speakers or a microphone, you might try hands-free headphones which have an integrated microphone.

  • A reliable internet connection and preferably a quiet room.

You can also access Zoom from your mobile phone or tablet.  Zoom gives some specific instructions for each. We recommend downloading the free App which makes this easier.  

It is easier if you have a set of combined headphones and microphone if possible.
