What is Zoom?

Zoom logo

Zoom is our campus enterprise tool for web conferencing for academic purposes and business conferencing. Make meaningful connections and collaborate with virtual meetings, team chat, online whiteboard, phone, and more.  

Zoom is available to all active University of Arizona NetID holders: faculty, staff, students, and DCCs. NetID is not required for external participants to attend a university Zoom meeting.

Note

If the “Require authentication to join; University of Arizona Only” setting is applied to the meeting then it would require an individual to have a university NetID to gain entry to the meeting. 

Zoom for Health is available for meetings where information subject to HIPAA regulation might be shared. Meeting hosts go through Zoom for Health training before being able to schedule meetings in Zoom for Health.
