Meet Us Online!

JOINING US ON ZOOM: Please visit ZOOM, and enter the appropriate meeting ID (for Sunday services, you see the ID on our home page). Please give at least your first name, so we know who is entering.

 

INTERNET DEVICE: The best way to join is either with a bidirectional audio/video capable device:

  • PC or laptop with a webcam, and micro / speakers (or headset)
  • Tablet or smartphone (has microphone / camera / speaker onboard)

TEST MEETING: To try out ZOOM for the very first time, you may join this test meeting: https://zoom.us/test

 

CLOSED MIC POLICY: In the room, please disable your microphone first by clicking the "MIC" button at the bottom of the browser window. In online meetings, open microphones can easily cause lots of noise for all participants. Open it, whenever you want to speak (and close it again afterwards). Over time, it will become very natural for everybody to apply to this very helpful policy.

 

CHAT IN CASE OF TROUBLE: Please use the text based chat function (opened by clicking the "CHAT" button at the bottom of the browser window) to communicate with the meeting host. This is especially helpful if you don't hear or see anybody else in the room - or if the others can't hear you speaking with an open microphone.

 

SOFTWARE NEEDED: It is possible to join just with a browser and the ZOOM plug-in. You may also register with ZOOM and install their app. In caseyou use your browser on a smartphone/tablet (Android/iOS), it likely needs general permissions in the system settings to use your microphone and camera.
