For the first meeting, you can join the Zoom call whichever way you prefer (desktop client, web client or Google Calendar link). For the second meeting, you have to join using the "Join with Browser" option in your web browser. 

There are two ways to get to this option: Going to Zoom.us in your browser or clicking the Google Calendar link for your meeting. Instructions for both ways are below.

NOTE: You cannot use the same audio or video device for both meetings simultaneously. You will need an alternative camera and microphone for the second meeting you join.
