Zoom

For instructors teaching remotely during this Covid crisis, please see “COVID-19 REMOTE TEACHING RESOURCES” tab on the right-hand panel

With Zoom, all parties can easily connect to the same video meeting using their platform of choice (computers, mobile devices, or regular phones).

As of March 2020, Zoom Licensed/Pro accounts (without add-ons) are now available for faculty, staff, and registered students due to instructional resilience coverage, free of direct charge. Licensed/Pro accounts allow unlimited meeting length and you can have up to 300 participants in the meeting.

Create/Manage a Zoom Meeting

This page will help you learn how to create/manage a Zoom meeting room and share the meeting information with students. There is also a recording feature within Zoom that can be used for any students who were not able to connect. Please follow all the instructions in the “Getting Started Guide for Hosts” below.

Zoom for audio-only conferences

How do I use Personal Audio Conference?

The only information you need to share with participants to your meetings are local dial-in numbers [2] for the country they’re in and your Conference ID [3] for the account you want to use (each Zoom account has 2 Personal Audio conference accounts for added flexibility). If you need to find out other international dial-in numbers, click on Edit [4] to display them.

In order to start the meeting, you’ll also need your Host Key [5] (which you shouldn’t share that with other participants to your meetings).
