Zoom is one of the simplest collaboration tools Seneca uses for online meetings and conference calls. This teaching tool can be used by faculty for online classroom sessions as needed. As a host, you can create a meeting and share the details with your participants through Microsoft Outlook or by posting the meeting information in Blackboard. As the host, once you start the meeting, participants can join in via their computer, tablet, smartphone or audio-only phone.
Zooms can be installed on your laptop computer and optionally on your mobile phone. In most cases, ITS will have already installed Zoom add-ins in Outlook but if you have issues or wish to install Zoom on an alternate computer, follow these steps to install Zoom on a desktop or laptop.
All employees and students with an active Seneca email address are eligible for a licensed Zoom Education account. This account allows you to host meetings of up to 300 participants.
