Zoom Links

This is the Zoom number for most of the sessions involving Zoom. WNMU decided to do a single Zoom number and then to have the sessions put into breakdown rooms—A, B, C, and D—corresponding with our sessions (A, B, C, and D).

Once you click the WNMU link, you’ll be put into the main room, Session A/Room A. If you wish to attend a different session, at the bottom of your Zoom app, in the screen commands on the Zoom dashboard, you’ll see “Breakout Rooms.” Click the up arrow and choose the room you wish to enter. You may move between rooms at any time — just click on another room.
