Student study groups can virtually meet over Zoom, allowing flexibility when coordinating schedules. Zoom integrates with Canvas, the University's Learning Management System, allowing instructors to conduct audio, video, and content sharing conferencing within their Canvas courses. Zoom encrypts all presentation content and telephone audio. Live chat is available during meetings, and meetings can be recorded. It supports HD videoconferencing, screen sharing, breakout rooms, and real-time video sharing. This cloud-based audio/video/content sharing conferencing service works through your web browser (Chrome only) or an app that can be downloaded for most desktop and mobile operating systems. An account is provisioned automatically upon first login. To get an account and begin using it immediately, visit the Zoom login page, sign in with your NetID and password, and authenticate using Duo MFA.
Zoom is available to anyone with a valid Northwestern NetID, and its use is intended for the purpose of conducting University-related activities.
