Zoom

What is Zoom?Screenshot of a Zoom session in progress

By now we think you probably know what Zoom is. But just in case, Zoom is a web-conferencing tool used to host online meetings. At Mesa we're using it for synchronous remote meetings together as well as remote teaching with students. Common uses:

  • Hosting remote meetings and remote class (synchronous) sessions
  • Hosting workshops and conference sessions
  • Individual appointments with students and colleagues
  • Hosting online office hours

Participants can join from their computer, or they can use the free Zoom app to join the Zoom meeting from their smartphone.
