Installing Zoom

If you don’t have the free Zoom client installed, you will automatically be prompted to download it the first time you click on the “Join the Webinar” link in your confirmation email. You can also manually download the client for your device here: https://zoom.us/download.

We recommend you install the Zoom client well before the webinar is scheduled in order to give yourself plenty of time.

Here are the basic steps to install Zoom:

Step 1:
Click on the “Join the Webinar” link provided in the webinar confirmation email.
Step 2:
Download the Zoom client. Simply follow the prompts to download the correct Zoom desktop client for your device and operating system.
Step 3:
Your Zoom Desktop Client will download. You will then need to install the client. Note that you may also download clients for iOS and Android devices.
Step 4:
Once you have installed the client, click on the “Join the Webinar” link again in the webinar confirmation email to connect to the webinar.

System Requirements

Zoom works well with most modern browsers, operating systems and devices. If you’re running an outdated operating system, browser or device, you may run into issues. Please review these system requirements well before the webinar to ensure that you are ready to go:

System requirements for PC, Mac and Linux
System requirements for iOS, iPadOS and Android

During the Webinar

Joining the Webinar (Web Browser)

If you don’t have the Zoom app installed, you will be prompted to download the software when you click on the “Join the Webinar” link in your confirmation email. If you do not wish to use the Zoom client, you can still join the live webinar with your web browser.

Here are the basic steps to connect without Zoom:

Step 1:
Click on the “Join the Webinar” link in the webinar confirmation email. Your default browser will open and you will be prompted to download the software.
Step 2:

Step 3:
Click “start from your browser” or “join from your browser” on the Zoom webpage.
Step 4:
Enter the Webinar Password (if one was provided).
Step 5:
If you connect before the scheduled start of the webinar, you will see a waiting screen and will be placed into the webinar when it begins.

If you connect after the webinar has started, you will be placed directly into the webinar.

Asking a Question

Throughout the webinar, you’ll have the ability to submit your questions using the Q&A window. Our moderator will collect and organize the questions during the webinar, and Robert McKee will answer as many as time allows during the Q&A period that follows.

Here are the basic steps to submit a question:

Step 1:
Click on the “Q&A” icon to open the Q&A Panel.
Step 2:
Type your question into the Q&A Panel.
Step 3:
Click “Send”. Our moderator will add your question to the list.
Note: You may not get a direct response unless you are requesting assistance.

After the Webinar

Watching the Webinar Recording

Registrants will be emailed information on how to access the recording 24 hours after the conclusion of the live webinar. You can watch the recording as many times as you like during its specified access period.

Following Up

We strive to give you the best learning experience possible, and your feedback is essential. You will likely get an email from us after the webinar, giving you the opportunity to provide suggestions on areas we can improve, or letting us know what worked.

In addition, Robert always likes to hear about new subjects his students would like him to cover in future webinars. If you’d like to suggest a topic, please send us an email.

And finally, if you enjoyed the content and don’t mind us sharing that fact, a few words about what you liked and/or the impact of Mr. McKee’s teaching can go a long way toward helping other writers decide whether the webinar is right for them.

Cancellations / Refunds

You can cancel any time before the webinar series begins. Just let us know. You will be refunded in full, minus a 10% administrative fee to cover the costs incurred processing your registration / cancellation.

We want you to have the best learning experience possible, so we’re here to help. Please contact us for assistance by emailing contact@mckeestory.com if you’re having technical issues with Zoom.

Due to the broad support of Zoom by modern browsers, operating systems and devices, technical difficulties will not be a valid reason for a refund if you don’t first attempt to troubleshoot with us. After all, we can only help you when we know you’re stuck.

We’ll do everything we can to assist you, but ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure that your device is compatible before the event begins.
