As we continue to utilize technologies, such as Zoom, to gather as a community, we continue to review protocols that ensure the safest virtual community possible. We look to you all to be our partners in creating a safe virtual space. When you sign into a meeting, class, or services, your name must be present in the waiting room; we cannot admit anyone whose device name appears as iPad or iPhone. Before you enter a Zoom, please make sure your device is listed correctly. You can do this on your phone or iPad by doing the following:
Go to Settings —> General —> About
Tap the first line, which is the name of your device
Rename your device so it reads your FIRST AND LAST name, and then tap done.
It is OK if your device reads (your name) iPhone/iPad, as long as your name is present. We thank you for your help. We want you to be a part of anything and everything that we offer at MLRT. If you have any questions, please contact any member of the senior staff. We look forward to seeing you on Zoom.
Please note: If you use Safari as your web browser (iPhone/iPad or Mac), it is much easier to use the Zoom App, which you can download for free.
Also, please be sure you are using the most current version of Zoom.
