QUESTIONS?
Zoom Resources
If you are new to Zoom, we have resources to help familiarize you with downloading it to the device of your choice, how to request technical support, online etiquette, and more. Visit our Online Resource page.
Typically, when you register for any class at San Diego Oasis, that information is automatically included in your MyOasis account where you can access it any time. This is also where you will find Zoom login information (if you need assistance, please take a moment to read through our step-by-step guide.). However, as we are using Eventbrite for our registration process for the Tech Fair, you will receive the Zoom login information via email shortly before opening day.
