Zoom is the college's primary web conferencing app, utilized by a majority of campus for online activities. Zoom has also been integrated into Canvas, allowing one to schedule and open a Zoom meeting directly through the Canvas interface, as well as have recordings move automatically over to Panopto.
IT is in charge of handing out Zoom accounts. You can email them or enter a ticket using their web tool. eLearning is unable to hand out Zoom accounts and only handles troubleshooting and training.
Zoom has different capabilities, depending upon what you want to do during your meeting or class. Here are some options:
Once you're done with Zoom you'll want to put the recordings in a place students can find them. We don't have a lot of space in our Zoom storage, so we appreciate your support in moving recordings that will be reused. You can set up Zoom/Canvas/Panopto integration to have it move the recordings automatically (by creating your Zoom session in Canvas class or integrating it into a Canvas class).
It's important that you keep your Zoom application up to date to make sure that bugs are fixed and you get the latest abilities within the app.
