Tech Tip of the Week: Zoom Documentation

If you haven’t experienced Zoom yet, you will soon!

Zoom is used at the iSchool for classes and meetings. If you have never used Zoom before, if you have a question, or are looking for a refresher then the iSchool Wiki is the place you want to be.

You can find Zoom information (with screenshots!) on the iSchool Wiki here.

And as always you can ask the Help Desk if you have any questions or concerns about Zoom! We are currently working remotely, but you can still reach us at 217-244-4903 or 800-377-1892, ischool-support@illinois.edu, and on our TechChat.

If you edit a recurring meeting, the change will apply to all future meetings as well.

Tech Tip of the Week: Zoom for Meetings

Most classes will be switching to using a new video conferencing and collaboration services called Zoom next semester.
But students, staff, and faculty can also use Zoom for meetings or group work as well!

If you go to illinois.zoom.us you have the option to host a meeting, which will allow you to invite others by sharing the Meeting ID, sending an email invite, or calling the person you wish to add to the meeting. Also at illinois.zoom.us, you have the option to join a meeting if you have been given a Meeting ID.

You can learn more about Zoom here.
