June 9 Regular Meeting on ZOOM

The Dallas Paleontological Society regular monthly meeting will be June 9.  We will begin at 6:30 pm (CST) with show-and-tell with recent fossil finds and visitation.  The program will start at 7:00 pm. 

We recommended creating a free Zoom account at https://zoom.us before the meeting (and you will receive a confirmation email), and then installing the Zoom application on your computer (Mac, PC, or Linux). You can also get the app for tablets and phones from the Apple or Android app stores, then click on this link to join the meeting on Wednesday, June 9th at 6:30pm Central Time for informal chat and show-and-tell of fossils, with the formal meeting starting at 7:00pm Central Time: http://zoom.us/j/98610328448 If you haven’t used Zoom before, join early and you can test your audio and video; and if you cannot install the application, you can also use a web browser (they recommend Google Chrome).

Or start the Zoom app and join the meeting ID 986 1032 8448 and passcode is 704093. If you move your mouse over the Zoom window, controls will appear where you can turn on and off your audio and video “feeds” to the meeting. Remember that you are on camera to the world and, if your audio feed is on when you cough or the dog barks, Zoom will switch the focus to you. So, please be respectful and mute your audio until you want to talk. Make yourself familiar with the Zoom controls, which appear when you move the mouse over the window, and learn where and how to turn on and off (mute) your audio, and your video feed. Be aware that your spacebar also mutes and unmutes your microphone (you can change that setting also). During the presentations, we will mute everyone’s audio, but if you come in late, be sure to mute yourself. You can submit questions for the speaker in the chat box, typing “QUESTION” to make them stand out. We will read them at the end in the order received
