Zoom provides video conferencing, simple online meetings, and group messaging for synchronous classroom and meeting experiences.
Only those hosting or scheduling meetings are required to have a Zoom account. Attendees can participate in meetings without Zoom accounts.
All UA Zoom users should transition to log Into Zoom with SSO. Using SSO allows users to log in with their myBama credentials rather than a unique username and password. Beginning Dec. 22, 2021 all users must log into Zoom using SSO.
