Zoom Guide
Thame & District u3a offers the option of Zoom for its bi-monthly meetings. Zoom details are sent out via email prior to the meeting in our Ramblings newsletter.
Zoom has the following useful guide: Zoom Guidance
We recommend:
- Stay muted (otherwise you broadcast to the entire meeting).
- Turn off your webcam if possible (reduces bandwidth usage for a better meeting).
- Use chat to ask questions.
As well as our groups, events and activities the following may provide other opportunities of interest.
