Before you begin accepting work, there are just a few more steps. You will receive an email to schedule a Zoom call with your Xometry Onboarding Specialist. This is your time to ask any questions about the Xometry Partner Network, learn about all of our partner benefits and be introduced to the details of our job offers, limits, scoring, and our supplies program. Your call will typically last 45 minutes to an hour.</p><p>See below for some documentation on utilizing Zoom!</p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line">How do I install Zoom?</p></div></div><p>Visit Zoom’s <a href="https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">download center</a> to install the program on to your computer. There are also options for downloading onto your iPhone or Android device. </p><p>Hit the big ‘download’ button underneath where it says “Zoom Client for Meetings” and follow the instructions given by Zoom to install.</p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line">How do I join my Zoom onboarding call?</p></div></div><p>After selecting a time that fits with your schedule, an email will be sent to you containing the Zoom call link. To join the meeting simply click on the link at or a little before the time of your meeting. That should automatically launch the Zoom program.</p><p>When zoom appears you may see a small window prompting you to either ‘’join with video’ or ‘join without video’. Select join with video if possible. </p><p>After these steps have been completed, you will have joined your call.</p><div class="blockquote"><div class="blockquote-content"><p class="blockquote-line">How do I unmute myself and turn my camera on?</p></div></div><p>We also ask that you unmute yourself at the beginning of your call. This call will be a conversation between you and us and we need to be able to hear you. Zoom has a very simple way of doing this seen below:</p><p>Once you’ve joined your call your window should look something like this. You’ll notice the two icons in the bottom right corner labeled “Unmute” and “Start Video”. If both have a red slash through them, that means your video and audio are turned off. To turn them on, simply click the icon. Be sure to do this right when you join your call. You may have already turned on your video when joining, so only turning your audio from off to on will be necessary in that case.</p><p>The icons should look like this when both are turned on.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032202/uploads/3L93V7G6X61K/screen-shot-2021-09-21-at-1-17-50-pm.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032202/uploads/3L93V7G6X61K/screen-shot-2021-09-21-at-1-17-50-pm.png" alt="Screen Shot 2021-09-21 at 1.17.50 PM.png" height="302" width="465" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p>After you schedule your call, you’ll need to set up your Invoicing. <a href="https://community.xometry.com/kb/articles/492-financial-services-onboarding" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Click here</a> to register for invoicing through Xometry's Shop Finances. </p><p>Check out the Xometry New Partner Onboarding Guide:</p><div class="js-embed embedResponsive" data-embedjson="{"url":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032202\/uploads\/JOIC113S73WV\/xometry-new-partner-onboarding-guide.pdf","name":"Xometry New Partner Onboarding Guide.pdf","type":"application\/pdf","size":11412984,"displaySize":"large","float":"none","mediaID":949,"dateInserted":"2022-01-13T17:52:55+00:00","insertUserID":889,"foreignType":"embed","foreignID":889,"embedType":"file"}"> <a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032202/uploads/JOIC113S73WV/xometry-new-partner-onboarding-guide.pdf" download="" aria-label="Xometry New Partner Onboarding Guide.pdf"> Xometry New Partner Onboarding Guide.pdf </a> </div> <h2 data-id="whats-next">What’s Next? </h2><p>Check out our technical documentation on navigating the job board, tolerances, inspection and more:</p><p><a href="https://community.xometry.com/kb/categories/124-job-board" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Read More →</a></p> </article> </main>
