Webinars Broadcast Via Zoom[edit | edit source]
Webinars are currently being broadcast via Zoom. If you are not familiar with the program, this short video will teach you how to use Zoom to join a meeting. Click here to view the video.
We do have a cap on our Zoom account, so space is limited. If you go to register for a class and it is closed, please note that you may be able to view that class via the FamilySearch Center Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/familysearchlibrary
Find the class you are interested in and click on the "Link to webinar" to enter the online webinar room. Please make sure your headphones or speakers are connected BEFORE you enter the webinar room. We recommend that you enter the webinar about 15-20 minutes before the start time. This will help ensure that your sound is working before the webinar begins.
