In contrast to employees, students won't be allowed to save meeting recordings to the Zoom cloud. The previous limit of 100 participants has now increased to 300 participants, the same as employees. Students can now also host larger Zoom meetings. Information Services recommends that students who host Zoom meetings install the Zoom application on their computers. Previously, faculty seeking help with Zoom hosting duties for their classes had to request a temporary additional Zoom license for each student assistant. "Now you can work on group projects, host club meetings and call friends and family on Zoom for hours at a time."Īny student still running into the time limit may need to refresh their UO Zoom account.Īll students can now also serve as alternative hosts for Zoom meetings. "We're glad to remove that barrier," Riley said. In the first year Zoom was available campuswide, student-hosted meetings with three or more participants were limited to 40 minutes, the same limit that applies to free personal Zoom accounts. Zoom is a cloud-based videoconferencing service used extensively at the UO for remote classes and meetings. "We're delighted to provide a better Zoom experience for students at no extra cost." "When it came time to renew our contract with Zoom, we asked them to extend full functionality to students," said Melody Riley, associate chief information officer for applications and middleware. On April 14, Information Services upgraded student Zoom accounts to share virtually all of the features that UO staff and faculty members already enjoy and provide greater parity with the existing Microsoft Teams service.
