Getting Started with Zoom
Our PFLAG General meetings are being held both virtually and in person. Our Transgender and Gender Expansive meetings are held Virtually only at this time. The virtual option for our meetings is supported by an easy-to-use online meeting tool called Zoom. Below are some helpful links to get started with Zoom, the audio and video conferencing application we use for virtual support meetings. If you are having difficulties with Zoom, feel free to let us know at info@pflagmanhattanbeach.org and we'll do our best to assist you!
If you are not already a Zoom user, don't worry, it is a free service for meeting participants. You can create your own Zoom account to access meetings using an e-mail address, Facebook or Google logins.
