If you don't already have the Zoom client (there is also a phone/tablet app), go to https://zoom.us/download and download Client for Meetings (the phone apps are also listed there). You do not need to create a Zoom account, but it's helpful if you use it regularly. With a login you can also create a profile with your preferred name and a photo (used when no video.)  Test your audio connections in advance.

I was assuming that the threshold nerd level in the group was high enough that people would have sufficient bandwidth.  Can’t people select to join audio only if they want, but have audio+video also supported?  Personally, I find the quilt of talking faces more like a real meeting and helpful with visual facial queues.
