Zoom is a desktop videoconferencing application which lets you participate in video conferences without needing to go to a purpose-built room or purchase expensive equipment.
It can be used on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems and is officially supported by the University of Otago for online meeting solutions.
For security reasons, all new Zoom meetings have the Require meeting password option enabled by default when they are created. This means that attendees require a password to join your meeting.
