How to use Zoom Web Conferencing
Zoom can be used for online meetings, webinars, and other web conferencing activities.
Anyone can join a Zoom meeting without an account, so it is ideal for connecting with participants outside of UCLA. A Zoom meeting supports up to 50 participants. The Zoom software client is available on major operating systems and mobile devices, and can be run from off-campus.
UCLA’s Zoom account is managed by the Office of Instructional Development (OID). The software is incorporated into CCLE, and any department that is part of CCLE (including the Library) can utilize it.
Support for and access to Blackboard Collaborate has ended on June 30, 2015. Its replacement is Zoom.
- Go to https://ucla.zoom.us and click on Sign In
- Authenticate with your UCLA Logon ID
“I already signed in with my personal email”
Note that Zoom offers a free plan that you can sign up for using a personal email address: http://zoom.us/pricing. This basic plan limits meetings to 40 minutes, so it is highly recommended to log in with your UCLA Logon ID, even if you have already created a Zoom account.
