Introducing… Zoom! Posted on July 22nd, 2020 by Marni Dunning

Zoom is our new video conferencing application and it has some fantastic features, including: breakout rooms, whiteboard options, host controls, waiting room, polling, plus many more. The solution enables users to make video calls with up to 300 users, share their video, audio, and screen, plus, all of that can be easily recorded. The application (computer or mobile device) allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number.

To get started with Zoom at Gustavus, please navigate to https://hellogustavus.zoom.us/, click Sign In, and login using your Gustavus Credentials.
