Instructions for Video Sessions via Zoom

1. Preparation

My preferred choice of video chat application for sessions is Zoom. The reasons for this are due to the stability, data security and functionality offered by the product.  As an alternative or backup option I also offer Skype. You can find me in Skype under the name WISH Mindscience.

To participate in video sessions, you will need the following:

  • An Internet-capable end device, e.g. a laptop, a mobile phone, a tablet.
  • The device must be equipped with a microphone, a camera and speakers or headphones.
  • A stable Internet connection.

2. Invitation to the session

You will receive an invitation to your zoom session by email from me in advance. This invitation will look like the following example (it may be formatted differently depending on your email programme and calendar):
