Zoom (incl FAQ)

Zoom is a video communications platform. It can be used for non-confidential one-on-one or group meetings. Although Zoom is available for the UT, we recommend using Teams or Canvas for online meetings whenever possible. Privacy is better guaranteed in these applications.

No costs are charged.

Zoom is automatically set up for each employee as soon as they enter the service. The system requirements can be found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-requirements-for-Windows-macOS-and-Linux

For questions or more information, please contact the Service Desk ICT.

Only use Zoom for conversations that do not contain privacy-sensitive data. Think before the meeting about what people will see or hear if you join the meeting. Close any windows that you do not want others to see. These tips apply to the use of any kind of video conference service.

You can host meetings with unlimited minutes for up to 300 participants.

Due to limited licensing capacity, there is no possibility for large webinars (20K+). If necessary the UT Video team can provide specialized support / other platforms.

Marketplace is a part of Zoom that allows third-party apps to be downloaded. This is a global service, not localized in the EU. It is expected that Marketplace will eventually be available, but only when the data can be stored in the EU. For now, the service is not available.
