Zoom is a desktop videoconferencing application which allows participation in video conferences without needing to go to a purpose-built room or purchase expensive equipment.
It is available to use on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems and is officially supported at 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.

Zoom can be used through your University staff account.
The maximum number of participants or attendees you can have for a Zoom meeting set up using your University of Otago Zoom account is 300 participants. There is no limit to the duration of your Zoom meeting.
If anyone requests a role-based account to use for Zoom or for any other enquiries that cannot be resolved, create a ticket and assign to eConferencing in CRSM.
