How to join The Globe in the Cloud
Note. You do not need to have a Zoom account to participate in a Zoom meeting. (The key phrase is "join a meeting", not "sign in" or "sign up".)
  1. My machine is fully Zoom-capable, ie. it has a user-facing camera, microphone and speaker / headphone socket but Zoom is not installed.   (Hide instructions)
     
    Click on:  zoom.us/j/85271898900
    Once Zoom has been installed you will be asked to “enter meeting passcode”. Enter:  S
     
  2. My machine is fully Zoom-capable and Zoom is already installed.   (Hide instructions)
     
    • Find your way to the Join Meeting box.
    • The top input box with Enter meeting ID or similar has a down arrow at far right. If you have been into this meeting before, click on the down arrow and select The Globe in the Cloud 852-7189-8900 from the drop down list.
    • Otherwise enter the Meeting Id of  852-7189-8900
    • Below the Meeting Id input is an input for “Your Name”. If this shows something like iPad or Galaxy S7, change it!
    • Click on Join
    • Enter meeting passcode:  S
     
  3. My machine is not fully Zoom-capable (but it has a screen!).   (Hide instructions)
     
    • If you do not have Zoom installed follow the instructions at 1. above. Or if you have it installed go to the meeting as per 2. above.
    • In Video Preview click on “join without video”.
    • A box will then ask you to “choose one of the audio conference options”. Select  Phone Call.
    • Pick up your phone. If the numbers displayed on the screen do not begin +44, select the United Kingdom from the pull-down list! If you are on a landline replace +44 with zero. Dial a number.
    • When connected and prompted key:
    • Meeting Id:  852 7189 8900 #
    • Participant Id.:  <as displayed on the screen> #
    • You should hear: “you are in the meeting now …”
    • Please mute your phone by keying  *6  so that your breathing does not cause Zoom to keep thinking you are the speaker. Remember to unmute with  *6  if you want to speak.
     
  4. My only means of communicating is a POTS phone (POTS = plain old telephone service - but not so old that it has a rotary dial!).   (Hide instructions)
     
    • Dial one of the following numbers:
      0203 051 2874
      0203 481 5237
      0203 481 5240
      0208 080 6591
      0330 088 5830
    • When connected and prompted key:
    • Meeting Id:  852 7189 8900 #
    • Participant Id.:  #   [just hash]
    • You should hear: “you are in the meeting now …”
    • Please mute your phone by keying  *6  so that your breathing does not cause Zoom to keep thinking you are the speaker. Remember to unmute with  *6  if you want to speak.
