Zoom is an online meeting platform. It is very easy to use. Everybody at WSU is offered a free Basic account. This means that you can set up a Zoom meeting with anyone and send them the link. The max time is 40 minutes so if you plan on going past that just set up consecutive meetings and switch to the next when the time runs out. Your faculty will have a Pro account that doesn’t time out and can host up to 300 people.
If anyone has questions or concerns using Zoom, please contact aljurgensmeier@shockers.wichita.edu or honorsassistant@wichita.edu.
