Support Guidelines 

Due to the recent purchase of a sitewide license, and the impact that COVID-19 has had on our team/work capacity, support with Zoom meetings will generally be provided as follows: 

 

: your go-to for bookings issues and recordings

  • ASO provides optional training for teaching teams early in the term to ensure you're comfortable with the technology and able to utilize all the features of Zoom, including polling and breakout rooms.
  • If you have a question about your booking, setting up Zoom links in your course, or your Zoom recordings, please contact asozoom@queensu.ca (email monitored during ASO office hours: 8:30am - 4:30pm Monday-Friday)

  • The Queen's IT Support Centre offers basic Zoom support for all faculty and students via Online Chat or by phone (613) 533-6666 (5am to 10pm Monday-Friday).
  • Please note: there currently is no support available on weekends or outside of the IT Support Centre hours listed above.

Please note the following 'Support’ definitions: 

  • Email Support:  Questions/issues are sent to asozoom@queensu.ca. Please note this email is monitored Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm as well as when tech support is scheduled for sessions.
  • Meeting Host:  This is the user with a Zoom Pro account. In general, this would be the course instructor or TA. 
  • ASO Zoom Support:  A member of our ASO team that will provide technical support for your meeting. Please note that ASO Zoom is only able to provide support for meetings that have been booked directly through the ASO Zoom account.  
  • JIT Meeting Requests:  Where possible, we will do our best to fulfil any additional meetings requested once the term has begun.  However, for requests that we find we are unable to support (usually for those that are received less than 2 working days before the scheduled meeting time), the following guidance is provided for meetings that we are unable to support: 
  • Meeting Setup:  We would ask that the Instructor or TA schedule the meeting themselves and send the meeting details to students via a course announcement.  
  • Meeting Host: If the meeting is hosted via an individual account, it will be the responsibility of the meeting host to manage the meeting and post the meeting recording (as ASO will not have access to the recordings)when tech support is scheduled for sessions.
  • Meeting Host:  This is the user with a Zoom Pro account. In general, this would be the course instructor or TA. 
  • ASO Zoom Support:  A member of our ASO team that will provide technical support for your meeting. Please note that ASO Zoom is only able to provide support for meetings that have been booked directly through the ASO Zoom account 
  • In-Person Support: Meeting Hosts should be aware that it may not always be possible to provide ASO Zoom in-person tech support for last minute requests.
