SAS Live Web Connecting with Zoom Guide

 

This guide will help you if you are having issues accessing your Zoom meeting for your Live Web class.

Testing Environment

 

Please ensure you have activated your course from the instruction email that was sent a few days prior to class.  Please click here to see that document if you haven’t.

Please test your access to Zoom prior to the first day of class using this link that is in your instruction email as well.

Click on Join and you can test your audio, camera, and microphone as well the connectivity to a Zoom meeting.

Doing this prior to the first day will help resolving any issues before that may occur.

After joining with computer audio and if all tests are successful, you should see the message below.
