In light of the current COVID-19 situation and subsequent halt to all face-to-face DPS meetings (until after 6th July), we have set up an online meeting alternative using Zoom.
Please bookmark this page (not the Zoom link) so that if we make any changes, you will have access to the latest links.
The link to connect to the meeting is at the bottom of this post.
What is Zoom?
Zoom is a free video conferencing tool that allows you to connect with others from the comfort of your home. It is similar to other apps that you may have heard of like Skype or Facetime.
It is free to use and you do not have to sign up to be able to use Zoom and participate in our meetings.
You can connect from a computer or mobile phone, and you do not need to have a camera or microphone at this point – you can participate by simply listening to the meeting.
This short video will give you an idea of how Zoom works, and also serves as a test to check that your speakers on your computer, or the sound on your cellphone is working. – you should be able to hear the lady speaking on the video. Link: https://youtu.be/-s76QHshQnY
What will the online meeting be like?
The meeting will follow a similar format to our normal face-to-face meetings, with results of the Projected Image of the Month (enter here: https://dps.org.nz/piotm), speaker, images from the Z-A challenge (participate here: https://dps.org.nz/z-a-photo-challenge/) and sharing of any other slideshows and information.
We will aim to get started at 7.30pm like we normally do, so please ensure you have tested your setup and checked you can access the meeting prior to Monday’s meeting.
What if I miss the meeting or can’t connect?
The meeting will also be recorded and a link to the video will be shared after the meeting has ended.
I need help getting set up or connected
If you need help with getting yourself set up, please email David treasurer.dpsnz@gmail.com as soon as possible.
During the meeting, if you are having trouble you can email David.
