Help! How do I join a Zoom Webinar!

Several members have asked questions about signing up for and signing into one of our Zoom webinars. Zoom has created several help pages to assist attendees and organizers alike.
 
The link below specifically addresses how to join a Zoom webinar. Once you have your registration link, you will be able to join almost immediately. With the webinar, attendees are in listen and view mode—no need for a camera or microphone. The first time you join a Zoom meeting or webinar, it is recommended you download the Zoom Desktop Client or Mobile App.
 
For more detail about joining and participating in a webinar as an attendee, you can read the lesson from Zoom by visiting the link above.
