Zoom is a new conferencing tool adopted by ASO starting in the Summer 2018 semester. Advantages of Zoom VS previous conferencing tools include:
- an intuitive simple interface
- Platform and browser independent; meetings can be joined via computers and mobile devices on wired and wireless connections
- Automatic cloud recording with transcript generation
Zoom meeting can be accessed either through your course Zoom page or from the meeting invite in your Office 365 calendar. Both require clicking on the unique meeting link in order to launch the session. If you are already logged with your Zoom host account, your meeting room will open up.
If you are not logged in with your host account, you will be redirected to the Zoom waiting page. If you see this, choose login and enter your host account information.
