Question

Bloomtivo Academy · Accepted Answer

Install the Zoom or Google Meet app on the device (a laptop is best), sign in if needed, and test the camera and microphone before the first lesson. Set your child’s display name to their first name. Keep the lesson link in one easy place, use headphones, and turn off chat features you don’t need. Do a 5-minute test call with a relative the day before. Lessons at Bloomtivo run on Zoom or Google Meet. A quick set-up before the first lesson avoids stress.Step by stepStepZoomGoogle Meet1.
