Zoom Guidelines & Information

Zoom is an online tool or application that allows video and audio communication to groups. The purpose of using Zoom with our clients is to enable face to face interaction during lockdown or isolation.

Weekly schedules

Zoom sessions are open to anyone regardless of which colour group they are normally in.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Joining instructions

To ensure that only clients and their families can join, staff will be sending a Meeting ID to each parent/carer before each session.

The Waiting Room feature will be used which means the staff member has to ‘admit’ each client into the meeting.

The password should not be required to join a Zoom session as long as you click the link you can access the meeting.

Expectations for Families

Parents, please go through these points prior to the first Zoom meeting.

• You need to ensure your device is fully charged or plugged in before entering a Zoom session.
• Once you have clicked on the invitation link, you will go into a ‘waiting room’. The staff will
allow access to the session. You will know when this has happened because you will be able to
see others on your screen.
• Staff will start admitting clients to the meeting from five minutes before it starts. Once
you are admitted you will be waiting for others to join.
• The volume will need to be up on the device you are using and the video activated.
• The staff will lead the session and will be looking forward to having you participate. Zoom
allows you to see and hear one another, almost as if you are in the room together, so you
will need to take turns and spend time listening to others or to instructions.
• If you need to leave the meeting for some reason, please let the staff member know.

Expectations for Parents

• Please try to have your son / daughter set up for the meeting in a space where there will be minimum
disruptions.
• Please do not use photography or any recording equipment (including Zoom recording) during the Zoom session.
