Welcome Newcomers!

WWVM is a group of meetings in the SIA fellowship.

How To Get Started: Register And Join A WWVM Meeting

You’ll need to have your own free personal Zoom account – get yours at https://www.zoom.com/.
Then click on the title of the meeting in the newsletter OR in the SIA calendar to find the registration link.
Register for each meeting with the same email address you used to create your zoom account or you’ll get an error.
After you register, Zoom will send the meeting link to join each week.
If you lose the link or email, just register again to have Zoom resend it.

Zoom Errors And Help

For an error saying you need an ‘authorized’ or ‘commercial’ account it means you are either logged out of your zoom account and need to log in again -or- you are logged into a different account to the one you registered with. There’s no paid commercial account needed for any zoom meeting.
If you get a ‘waiting for host to start meeting’ error, you’ve tried to join when the meeting isn’t scheduled.. You can get into the meeting 15 minutes before the meeting start time.
We don’t have the ability to manage Zoom accounts, see Zoom support for more help: https://support.zoom.com/hc

What is WWVM?

SIA is the fellowship, like AA is a fellowship. World Wide Virtual Meetings is a group of meetings in the SIA fellowship.

SIA requires meetings to follow the SIA 12 Traditions and to have a set of safety guidelines, but it doesn’t specify the details. Guidelines can be slightly different from group to group, and there are many valid ways of handling safety and conducting meetings. In WWVM, all meetings follow the WWVM Safety Guidelines. WWVM was started in 2020 as a response to Covid, under the direction of the WSC Group Concerns committee. It developed its own policies and procedures by group conscience in the Group Concerns Safety Subcommittee and became an autonomous group in 2021, adopting the name “World Wide Virtual Meetings”. The WWVM administrator handles the technical Zoom scheduling and communicates safety decisions between the meeting chairs. Each meeting – its chair and participants – is responsible for its own meeting safety. Safety decisions are made in the meeting using the Group Conscience Safety Check and the WWVM Safety Manual.
