Live Streaming Worship Instructions 3/18/2020

Because of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) issue, Community of Christ in San Antonio will meet in a remote manner using the video conferencing tool, ZOOM. ZOOM is a free tool for PC, Mac, Android, and iPhone users.

This email will explain specifically how to log in to the ZOOM gathering and generally how to use ZOOM. Thank you for being part of our church family!

Login Invitation:

Each week, we will send out a new invitation. The invitation has a link that you can click on or copy and paste into your favorite browser. There is always a chance that the Meeting ID or phone number(s) might change, so old invitations might contain errors.

The invitation will look something like this:

Shenandoah Congregation is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Time: Mar 22, 2020 10:30 AM Central Time (US and Canada)

To join the service and view the video on your computer or smartphone, use this link and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you have any trouble connecting, you can call Jim Burdick at 210-722-3610.

How to Use Zoom

Using ZOOM is fairly simple and straightforward. Generally, it will only require that you click on a link in the invitation.

However, the first time you do this, it might invite you to download a small ZOOM app or program, and you can safely allow that. This should be a one-time action, so pleases try the process in advance of Sunday so you will be ready to join smoothly Sunday morning.

If you cannot download the software, you should be invited to continue using ZOOM using just your browser. This should work OK, but might offer a few reductions in the overall experience.

We have planned some ‘Practice Times’ for folks to get used to logging in and gain experience. Please try to do a practice session so your Sunday experience goes smoothly.

You may use a telephone to listen to the service by dialing the phone number shown and entering the Meeting ID when prompted.

Practice Sessions

These are arranged by Jim Burdick, so if you need a practice at a different time, let Jim know.

Thursday
- 3-5 p.m.
- 7-8 p.m.
Friday
- 3-5 p.m.
- 7-8 p.m.
Saturday
- 3-5 p.m.
- 7-8 p.m.

Once you are logged in, you should already be able to see others. At first, everyone will be muted, but this can be changed at a later date when we become used to using ZOOM etiquette.

Hints and Tips

At first, participants other than the presider and speaker will be muted.
If you have a camera, please try to not distract others.
Unless we take turns talking, none of us can be heard or understood.
Practice, practice, practice, as this may be our new normal for awhile.
