   2. Click “Copy the Invitation”. This will populate a premade message for you to send to your attendees. You can copy and send this to your participants. 

If you have the Zoom Client installed:

1. Open Zoom
   
2. Select “Join a Meeting”
   
   
3. Enter your meeting ID (The nine-digit number at the end of the join URL)
   
   

If you do not have the Zoom Client Installed:

1. Go to virginiatech.zoom.us
