Zoom is our video communication tool of choice. If you're unfamiliar with Zoom, we suggest you watch   this quick overview (0:37).    You may find the following articles helpful. Zoom Meetings: Get the basics. Zoom Rooms: Many of our conference rooms in our offices are setup as Zoom Rooms. This means that they're equipped with an iPad to control the session as well as integrated audio and video. If you're booking a room, you may see a "Z" in the room description. This tells you it's a Zoom room. (Note: You can use any meeting room with Zoom, but you'd need to run the conference through your laptop and/or telephone rather than the integrated system) Personal Meeting ID: Did you notice some people have cool Zoom links with their names instead of a random number? Here's how to get your own! Zoom Outlook Plugin: You can add instant Zoom meetings to your Outlook invites with this simple plugin.   Want to learn more? Check out these one minute Zoom tutorials.  

Slack is our in-house chat tool. If you're unfamiliar with Slack, we suggest you watch this quick overview (2:37). To get started, use the following articles: What is Slack? Getting started Signin via Okta Set up your profile Download the desktop and/or mobile apps You'll see quite a variety of profile photo types. Dogs are particularly popular, but have a little fun and use this as a chance to express yourself.

As well, ask your teammates what channels s/he find the most useful and entertaining!
