Zoom is a video conferencing tool, which means you can meet with your instructor, adviser or other students from your home or other location. Zoom allows you to see and hear each other, as well as send typed chat messages. You can access Zoom from your computer browser or from a mobile device (phone, tablet). Some instructors may have synchronous, or live meetings (meaning everyone logs in to Zoom at the same time), or may record a lecture for you to view later.
For Zoom Support, please email Zoom@umsystem.edu.
