Zoom
Zoom is a web conferencing technology supported by Monash that allows you to host and record live online video sessions and meetings. Zoom Meetings can support up to 300 participants in a standard account. Monash also has a small number of licenses available for Zoom Webinars which can support up to 500 participants. This format is usually used for didactic delivery with minimal interaction and no participant videos. If you require a Zoom webinar account, please contact the Service desk. To learn more, see Zoom Webinars.
Zoom can be used in a variety of teaching scenarios and provides an opportunity for students and educators to engage with each other in a live virtual environment. Using Zoom for virtual discussions promotes an active student-centered learning environment where students can collaborate and discuss, as well as give and receive instant feedback and/or reactions from you and fellow students.
Log in to Zoom using your Monash login from a web browser.
It is recommended that you also download the Zoom app on a Laptop/Desktop or Mobile device. This will give a more stable experience and some added features.
