Do I need I need a Zoom account to join online sessions?
No. When you join the session you'll be prompted to download the free Zoom app.

Group meetings are limited to 40 minutes. To remove this restriction and to gain access to more features, upgrade to one of their paid plans.

Some online sessions can be recorded and shared with you and your team. Additional costs may apply, and recordings are for internal use only.
Please let me know in advance if you'd like a recording of your session.
