Technical Issues w/ Zoom Information
If you experience issues where you can't access the meeting and it keeps taking you to the zoom registration page, it is most likely because you have an outdated zoom application downloaded on your computer.
If zoom is not downloaded on your computer, you want to join the meeting from the web browser and not install zoom on your computer. Note this historically has occurred with Osseo Area Schools email accounts.
