NEW! On-Demand Training: Hosting on Zoom

Senior Planet is excited to offer an on-demand, interactive training for how to host a Zoom meeting. During the training, you’ll practice some of the most common Zoom skills used by meeting hosts. The training takes about 15-20 minutes to complete, but you can start and stop it as you wish. You can also take the training any time, as long as you’re connected to the internet! For the best experience, we recommend taking the training on a desktop or laptop computer, or a tablet with a larger screen.
