Online Bible Studies & Prayer Lines

Using ZOOM for Live Sessions

A Few Notes:

For everyone’s online safety, safeguards have been put in place to protect privacy and prevent hacking. Be aware that no login is needed to access ZOOM, so no one should ask you for any login information. (Let us know if you have any questions/concerns… Email: athertonmedia@icloud.com)

All attendees are muted by default during the session. (If you unmute your mic, please be aware of potentially distracting noises and background conversations going on around you.)

Feel free to use the PARTICIPANTS feature to see “who’s on the pew with you”, and the CHAT feature to ask questions, share Bible notes. (Both features are located at the bottom of your ZOOM window on both desktop and mobile apps.)

We’ll take questions at the end of the session, but please be sure to keep them on topic and related to the current Bible study lesson. (If you have other questions or prayer requests, please contact us and our office will be happy to assist!)

 Some Best Practices While Zooming…

• be somewhere with strong WiFi or cellular data connection (depending on your home setup, one may be stronger than the other);
• look into the camera when talking (instead of looking at yourself);
• position yourself so that most of the light is coming from in front of you (instead of behind you);
• place your device on a stable surface (table, tripod, etc.) so the rest of us don’t get dizzy!
