Zoom Account

Did you know that the Narcotics Anonymous Northern Australia Service Area has a zoom account that you group can use for virtual meetings?

If account is not already in use for the time of you meeting; your group can use this Zoom account for virtual meetings without the need to use group Seventh Tradition funds for a zoom account.

It’s a fairly simple process to get access to get set up:

• Send a request for you online meeting to the account administrator:
  • Account administrator:  serviceboard.northernaustralia@na.org.au
  • Be sure to include all details of the meeting:
    • Topic
    • Date and time details
      • Start and finish times
      • Recurring meeting details (if required).
  • Be sure to give the administrator some time to check your request for clashes and some lead time to set it up.
• If available, the administrator will schedule the meeting; and send you the meeting invite details.
  • The invite will include the link you will need to add to the meeting list.
    • Currently this is a separate process.  You will have to submit a meeting update in addition to this zoom account request.
    • The two (2) processes are currently separate and the responsibility is on the requestor to update the meetings list with the Zoom Invite link
  • The response will also provide you with a host passcode.
    • Do not publish or share this passcode.

Once you are all set up, you just need to wait until the meeting is about to start.

• Allow yourself somewhere around 10 or 15 minutes before the meeting is about to start.
• Sign into Zoom as you would normally.
• Use the link that was provided to you to join the meeting you are hosting.
• Click Participants.
• Click Claim Host at the bottom of the participants list.
• Enter your host key.
• Click Claim Host. Once the host key is verified, you will have host controls in the meeting.
