Zoom is a communications platform that allows users to connect with video, audio,
phone, and chat. Using Zoom requires an internet connection and a supported device.

faculty, staff and students. Licensed Zoom accounts are prioritized for teaching and
direct student and faculty support. Additional licenses may be issued for core administrative
purposes.
Please review the features below to determine which best fits your needs. You can
request either a basic or licensed account from our Software License Request - Zoom page. There is no charge to request or use this service.

A Zoom Webinar license provides up to 100 video participants and up to 10,000 attendees
as well as registration management. Additional costs are associated with this license.
Webinars are best suited for larger audiences and events open to the public, where
attendees do not need to interact with each another. Webinars are typically used for
circumstances where you want to deliver information out to participants, but don't
need them to have the option to respond to you with video or audio. Participants in
a webinar can be limited to chat functions, Q&A features, and polling.
