 Meetings

Compare features and recommended uses of Teams, Zoom, and Collaborate Ultra.

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration tool as well as the default app for meetings and making and receiving phone calls. Teams is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Students, faculty and staff can join and start instant Zoom meetings, use their Personal Meeting ID, or schedule meetings for up to 300 participants. Webinars and large meetings are also available by request.

Schedule meetings or start unscheduled meetings in Zoom.

You can use a compatible headset with your laptop, desktop computer, and/or phone or other mobile device when attending meetings and to make and receive phone calls (instead of using a desk phone) using Microsoft Teams.

Exchange resources, such as meeting rooms, projectors and other items, can be reserved by inviting them as "attendees" of meetings.

Zoom meetings can be recorded for classes or other meetings to share later. Recordings can be saved to your local computer or to the university's cloud streaming service Kaltura.

Your pronouns, location, and phone number can be updated in your Zoom profile, but due to administrative security settings at the university, many items in your profile cannot be changed.

A license is required for large Zoom conferences with more than 300 participants.

The Zoom for Outlook Add-In allows you to use Outlook when scheduling Zoom meetings, and the meetings will be added to your Outlook calendar.

With Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, faculty can create a virtual classroom, office, or meeting space in order to communicate with users on campus or anywhere in the world.
