You can either click the link, which will give you immediate access to the meeting or download the Zoom-app at zoom.us/download. We recommend the app as it is free, works better and contains more functions.

For more instructions on how to use Zoom please see here. It is important that you check your computer settings and compatibility well in advance before the webinar, so you don’t miss the session because of technical problems. Take also a look at different functions, e.g. changing views for a more comfortable experience.
