Zoom Events FAQ

All of our current programs are being offered via Zoom Meeting.  Below are some tips for connecting to and  participating in OFJ  Zoom Meetings.

You are taken to the event page and shown the blue Join Zoom Meeting button.
Click the blue Join Zoom Meeting to join the event. If you do not see the blue button please make sure you have scrolled to the bottom of the page first. If you still do not see it then there is a problem with your registration. Contact us to fix the problem.

You may be asked to install the Zoom client. Click the Open Zoom button.

You may be asked to enter your name and email address to authenticate yourself

You may find yourself in the Waiting Room. If so, you’ll be admitted to the meeting shortly — you don’t need to do anything!

Zoom Audio Info

In some events you may be muted throughout the event unless asked by the host to unmute yourself in order to ask a question of, or otherwise interact with, the presenter. In other events you may not be muted, in which case please be aware of background noise in your viewing location – everyone will be able to hear it!

Zoom Chat Info

In lecture events, Chat between all attendees will be on for a half hour before the event and during the break between the lecture and the Q&A. During the lecture Chat will be disabled except to contact the meeting host. During the break you will have a chance to use the Chat window to ask questions of the presenter. In other events, like workshops, Chat will be available among all attendees for the entire event.

Zoom Recording Info

Your event may be recorded. You will hear an announcement as you connect to the meeting telling you if it is being recorded. If you do not wish to appear on screen, please disable your video using the tools in the Zoom toolbar that will appear once you join the meeting. You also have the ability to rename yourself, using the same toolbar.

For some recorded events, the recording will be available to view for a limited time after the event. We strive to send to all those registered for the event an email within 72 hours after the event providing the link and details about how long it will be active. Please do not forward the recording link, share with others, or post publicly.

We also post to the library all available event video recordings one year after the event date. You can find these recordings in the library catalog here.

Oregon Friends of C.G. Jung reserves the right to edit the recordings as necessary for content or concision.

Change Your View

Choose how you want to see the speaker and other participants. Use the appropriate button in the upper-right corner of your screen.

Speaker View – the person speaking is always large and centered:

Adjust Shared Screen Size

The presenter may share their screen from time to time, when they have slides or other visual materials they want to share. Your view of other participants will change to accommodate the shared materials. You can adjust the relative sizes of the shared materials and other participants by clicking and dragging the separator bar as shown below:

Use the Zoom Toolbar

At the bottom of your screen you’ll see a control panel:

Mute / Unmute: Click to mute and unmute your microphone.
