Zoom is a program that provides video conferencing capabilities to students, faculty and staff. It allows students to participate in advising, academic support, lectures and collaborative meetings without needing to be on campus. With Zoom, participants can meet with one or multiple people at once and also share their screen for demonstration or clarification.
Joining a Zoom Meeting
Joining a Zoom meeting is easy. When you are using it for the first time, it is recommended you sign on at least five minutes early to allow enough time for downloading the software and joining the meeting.
Sharing Your Screen in Zoom
A helpful tool, the screen sharing option in Zoom can help you present to groups or share information with other participants. It can be especially helpful when working with academic support as they can be able to see specifically what help you need.
