Zoom

What is Zoom?

Zoom is a video and web conferencing service that can be used to host interviews, meetings large or small, and webinars. It works with Macs, Windows and mobile devices. Zoom provides remote conferencing services using cloud computing that combines video conferencing, online meetings, chat, and collaboration. Instructors can initiate Zoom sessions for an entire class through the integration with Canvas. Outside of Canvas, individual participants and external users can join Zoom meetings via direct links shared through email or calendar events.
