Troubleshooting tips for Online Meetings:
- If you are having trouble connecting you could try clearing your browser cache.
- There are instructions for this for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.
- You could also try restarting the Zoom app on your computer or mobile device.

Unfortunately the MHFA can do very little to assist with connection issues as Zoom is a 3rd party application and out of our control.
