Step 2: At the company-domain field, enter ‘pgcc-edu’. Remember it is dash, not a full stop.  
  

Step 3: A Microsoft pop-up box will ask you to pick an account. If you do not see your PGCC email, enter your PGCC email address and click Next.

Step 13: A window will pop up and ask if you would like to open the Zoom application. Click ‘Open Zoom app’ 

 

 

 

Step 14: Now your Zoom Meeting Client software is activated. Another sign-in page will appear again. This is expected. Next, sign in with your Zoom credentials.  

Then, minimize the Zoom Meeting Client.  

 

Step 15: During the event period, after successful sign in, you should see the sessions and a blue ‘Join Lobby’ button appearing in the circled section in the picture below. You will click the ‘Join Lobby’ button. 

 

Step 16: Once the lobby has loaded, the lobby should look like the following image, although the graphics will vary depending on the event. You are all set. You may chat with event moderators on the chat box, if you have questions or need further assistance. To browse the session catalogues and offerings, click the Session icon that looks like a clock on the left.
