How to join a webinar by invitation link on a computer 

To join a Zoom webinar such as the AGM, click the link that is provided on this web page or was in the email sent by Diabetes Wellington.  The link is just a web address, so that will open your web browser and then either:

1. start the webinar within your web browser; or
2. load the Zoom desktop client, if that is installed, and join the webinar from that application.

• If you have never used Zoom before then you will probably be asked for permission to use the camera on your computer (if it has one) and to use the audio (microphone and speakers or headphones). At the very least you must grant access to audio as, otherwise, you won’t hear the meeting.
• If you are joining from your web browser you shouldn’t need a Zoom account, but if you are using the desktop application then you will need to register with Zoom which requires an email address.  A free Zoom account is adequate for attending a webinar.  Zoom will ask for your name and we’d be grateful if you would provide both your first and last names as we need a list of people to complete the attendance register.
• To keep things orderly, all webinar attendees will have their microphones muted, that way you can all hear the presenters. 
• If you need to ask a question, you will find a “Q&A” button at the bottom of the Zoom window, clicking on that will allow you to type your question.  Alternatively, if you need to speak to the meeting, there is a “raise hand” button that signals the webinar controller and they will unmute you at an appropriate time so that you can voice your question.  Please note that it’s better to use the Q&A function as the room doesn’t have the sophisticated sound equipment that would be required for everyone in the room to hear you, so the presenter will need to repeat your question or comments, and that would be easier if the question were in written form via the Q&A function.
• When motions are being considered, a “poll” will appear onscreen and you simply choose one of the two options given, i.e. do you support or oppose the motion.  Please respond as quickly, as possible as each poll will only be open for a couple of minutes.

Example of what you will see on the screen:

(please note that you may not be able to see all of the controls depending on what the host has enabled)
