Zoom is an online video conferencing and collaboration tool, which provides high-quality audio and video for meetings and classes, content sharing and co-annotation tools, breakout rooms, whiteboarding tools, polling and interactive responses, and the ability to record meetings locally or to the cloud. It is also integrated into Canvas for classes, and can serve for both live class sessions and pre-recording lectures.

All Fuller staff and faculty may receive a licensed Zoom account. If you do not yet have a licensed account, please contact vcsupport@fuller.edu to request one. You may use your Zoom account to schedule any meetings and classes that you need.

Students, alumni, and anyone else with a fuller.edu email address can sign up for a free Zoom account following the instructions HERE. Zoom has temporarily lifted the 40-minute limit on all .edu accounts.

Zoom Account vs Zoom App

• Your Zoom account is an online account, much like an email account, which you sign into in order to schedule meetings and adjust your meeting settings. You may sign into your Zoom account at zoom.us/signin
• The Zoom app is a software program, much like Microsoft Word, which is installed on your computer or mobile device and is used to join Zoom meetings. You may sign into your Zoom App using your Zoom account, which will make you the host of any meetings you have scheduled.
