Overview
Zoom video conferencing software is used at Tabor to connect students to live classes and events remotely. Lecturers and Zoom event organisers will provide you with a Zoom Link that will allow you to connect to each session.Before opening a Zoom Link, make sure you have Zoom installed on your device. Zoom can be installed on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. Further instructions have been provided below.
NOTE: Account creation is not required in order to join a Zoom meeting as a Guest. Once the application is installed, it will launch automatically when a Zoom link is opened.
