Remote Meetings - Zoom Instructions
The Town of Falmouth is currently using the Zoom conferencing system for all public meetings of boards, committees and commissions during the COVID-19 crisis. FCTV continues to broadcast live the same public meetings it has broadcast in the recent past. All meetings, including those not broadcast live on FCTV, can be viewed live via Zoom. Anyone who wishes to participate in a live public meeting by making comments or asking questions must do so using Zoom. Please note that as was the case prior to the COVID-19 emergency orders, public participation is required only for certain hearings as provided by MA general law. Public comment and participation may also be permitted for other matters at the discretion of the chair.
Each meeting will have a web address that users can click to start the Zoom application.
