Go to Zoom.com and click on Resources, then Download Zoom Client. Also available in your app store. If you already have Zoom, ensure you're on the latest version.

2. If you have never used Zoom, they do offer video tutorials or live training. Both are available under the Resources menu.

3. Download the Reporting Guide and Notes Page from MetroSkywarn.org (Click on Spotter Resources and scroll down about halfway). If you wish, also download the presentation.

4. Log in about 15 minutes before the training begins to ensure you can connect.

5. If you are able, please use your computer's audio. We are limited to 100 people in the meeting and using your computer and phone takes up 2 users.
