Overview
 | - For academic, social, and spiritual support meetings at Enlightium, we use a program called Zoom.us. This program is great as it allows teachers and students to share their screens and speak to each other.
- System requirements for PC, Mac, and Linux can be found in this article. Students will be required to have a computer with Internet access and are recommended to use the Chrome or Firefox browsers. Most operating systems work well with Zoom. A phone or webcam will be needed to speak with the student’s teacher.

Call any of the numbers listed under “Dial” on the screen. You will be prompted to enter your Meeting ID number followed by the pound or hash sign (#). Then you will enter your participant ID followed by the pound sign.
5. You may choose to join by video if you desire, students may share their screen, and students can send a chat.
How to Share Your Screen
 | - At the bottom of your zoom session, you should see a toolbar. Select “Share Screen.” Then, it will give you an option of what you want to show. Once you have highlighted the screen you wish to share, choose “Share Screen” in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.

How to chat
 | - In the toolbar at the bottom of your screen, there is a button called “Chat” with a picture of a speech bubble. Clicking this button will bring up a sidebar so that you can chat with your teacher. This is particularly helpful if you have technical difficulties during a Zoom session.
