Aging Matters | Getting Started With Zoom
(upbeat music) - [Presenter] The pandemic caused many of us to pivot to online meetings for work or to just connect with family and friends we could not see.
The Zoom platform made this pivot possible for many, but some are still learning how to use the platform and could benefit from a quick guide for new users to get started.
To sign up for your own free account, visit the Zoom signup page and enter your email address.

You can sign in to your Zoom account on the web at any time at zoom.us/signin.
Once you're logged in, use the panel on the left side to navigate the Zoom web portal.
