We're Going To Try A Zoom Class Reunion Meeting-Class of '62-We're Old-? For You Zoom Experts....

A couple of our senior citizen classmates don't have access to a computer. Is there a Zoom phone app available so they could use their phones to join our Zoom Meeting? If so, what is it called and where can I tell them they could download it from? Does it work well or will they get frustrated using it?

zoom call in number and the recorded voice will ask you to enter the pass code, and you are in. You can hear everyone and they can hear you., you just can't see anyone. Just like a large conference call. Enjoy.

It won't work on a flip-phone...you have to join the modern age. That was the first step for me anyway. I acquired a Motorola--mainly because I liked the price (free).

Using Chrome, I downloaded the Zoom app and then just followed the on-line instructions.
