BEST PRACTICES

https://zoom.us/pricing - Under Settings, add your profile picture. See How to use Zoom's Desktop App.
- When you register for a webinar or meeting, add it to your calendar.
- Be sure your headset/mic are plugged in, then reboot your computer 15 minutes before attending any online event.
- Turn off memory-resident programs like Dropbox, MS Outlook, and Backblaze as these take up extra bandwidth.
- Ask other members of the household to refrain from accessing the internet. Turn off smart TVs, and other unused devices that may compromise bandwidth. This includes online games, streaming video and music.
- Keep your operating system, web browser and Zoom app up-to-date.
