Do I need a Zoom account to access sessions?
You do not have to sign up to a Zoom account to join sessions. You can access Zoom by clicking on the Zoom link provided.
Note: If you would like to create a Zoom account and join via an account, advice would be to set this up and download Zoom at least 15 minutes before the session so it gives you time to set it up correctly.
I cannot find the email for the Zoom Session for which I registered.
Sometimes emails are directed to spam.
- Search for ‘XR’, ‘ddat+hub’ or volunteer@extinctionrebellion.uk' in your Spam / Junk folder
- Ensure the email address you have provided when you registered is correct.
