Zoom is a web conferencing tool where you can e.g. share your screen with other participants. Use Zoom for remote education and guidance, web conferencing and webinars.
Basic information about Zoom
- Our Zoom service provider is CSC. NORDUnet Zoom is used by universities (and research) in the Nordic countries.
- The service is located on the NORDUnet server. (See Zoom security (NORDUNet))
- Data traffic is concentrated in the EU and complies with data protection requirements.
- General responsibilities, risks and principles of recording online meetings at the University of Oulu and Oamk
- A Zoom meeting can have 500 participants. All users can set up meetings, including students.
- Under the license, all users can also set up a Zoom webinar, which can have 500 participants. The webinar differs from the meeting in terms of, among other things, the role of the panellist and the tools of the audience.
