ITS has announced a new option for connecting remotely: Zoom Videoconferencing.
Zoom is a feature-rich service that includes options for online meetings, chat rooms, webinars, and mobile collaboration. Existing videoconferencing tools, including BlueJeans and Google Hangouts, will continue to be available.
Virtual training
In support of attending classes, events, and meetings virtually, ITS is hosting virtual Zoom training. A live session will be held March 19 at 11 a.m., with a recording to be published afterward. Visit the ITS website for more details.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your area or department already uses Zoom, faculty and staff have been instructed to contact IT support for guidance before installing the versions below.
