1. Open the confirmation email for your appointment
The meeting link and passcode for your meeting are included in your appointment confirmation email every time you book an appointment. If you have not received an email for your scheduled appointment, please email the Writing Centre at writingcentre@royalroads.ca or contact us on WriteAnswers to confirm your appointment.
2. Click on or copy and paste the link to your online meeting room into your browser
Use the link provided in the confirmation email to join your meeting with the Writing Centre. If you have Zoom installed, click on “Launch Meeting” (the blue button), if not, click on “Join from Your Browser” (circled in yellow below) to continue to your appointment on a web browser. If the meeting has already started, you will be asked to enter the passcode to join. See Joining a Meeting from Zoom for a step-by-step overview of this process.
3. Select computer or phone audio
Once you enter the passcode, you may test your audio settings before joining the meeting. To join by phone, dial one of the local Zoom numbers provided and enter the conference and participant ID and passcode provided for the meeting. See Joining a Meeting by Phone for a demonstration from Zoom.
