Temporary Change to Zoom Platform

Zoom, the remote meeting platform used by the City of Salem for public meetings, has temporarily disabled telephone options for attending webinars, the format used by the City for most meetings, in order to conduct an update to the platform. The company anticipates re-enabling them shortly. In the meantime, attendees can connect to the audio of a live webinar meeting using Zoom’s desktop client, web client, or mobile app.
