ABOUT ZOOM: 

Several in-person meetings that have been closed due to COVID-19 will be switching to Zoom, a virtual video communication service. You can download Zoom on your computer via Zoom.com, download as an app on your iPhone or Android, or dial in on your phone.

​

OA ZOOM GUIDELINES: 

• Suffolk Intergroup states that being on camera is a suggestion, not mandatory.

• There should be no multitasking or eating while attending a Zoom meeting. Please do not do anything you would not do at an in-person meeting at a Zoom meeting.

• Remember to practice Anonymity by removing your last name from your Zoom.

• OA World Service has asked us to remind members not to share their screens or take screenshots containing OA Literature.

  • Overeaters Anonymous has spent considerable time and money to develop its literature and owns the copyright for all OA literature. Members and groups may not reprint or post OA literature (in any digital medium) without written permission from OA, Inc.

  • To request reprint permission, go to https://oa.org/guidelines-meetings/copy-requests/; click “Copyright Requests.” The theme of a reading or a quote from OA literature can be posted. For guidance on what is allowed under “fair use,” see https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html. Some OA-approved literature may be reprinted and posted by registered OA groups and service bodies without written permission.
