How to join a DTEN Meeting

For Desktops/Laptops/Mobile:

  • You have a Meeting ID? Yay! Please launch your Zoom App or join in a browser (https://zoom.us/join) and enter the Meeting ID. The DTEN Meeting Host will let you in, once she/he's ready.
  • You have the Meeting Room link? Please click on it and wait for the DTEN meeting Host to let you in.
  • You don't have the Meeting Room link but you know in which location the Meeting is happening? Here's the list of DTEN Meeting Rooms with the Meeting Room links:

For DTENs:

  • The quickest way is to tap on Join, enter the Meeting ID, and tap Join.
  • If you try to join through the Contacts, it will actually start another Meeting and ask the current DTEN Meeting to join.
  • The other way is to get invited by the Host. A window will open and you only need to tap on Accept to get into the Meeting:

Note on the last picture that in order to see the Invite button, it is necessary to move the on-screen keyboard by drag and dropping it above! (which is why I recommend sharing Meeting IDs, it's just easier)

Where in the world is the DTEN Meeting ID?

It is located at the top left of the Meeting, by tapping on the little green shield displayed there:

It will open a pop up that will look like this:
