2. What Is Zoom?
• Zoom is a cloud-based platform for video and audio
conferencing, mobile collaboration, and simple online
meetings.
• Cloud-based is a term that refers to applications, services or
resources made available to users on demand via the Internet
from a cloud computing provider's servers.
• Cloud Computing is the use of hardware and software to
deliver a service over a network (typically the Internet). It is
an application-based software infrastructure that stores data
on remote serves, which can be accessed through the internet
• Cloud examples: Facebook, whatsapp, skype, Google apps
like gmail, google drive, google search, youtube, playstore, etc.

3. • Zoom's web-based conferencing uses high-quality video
and audio and is accessible on MacOS, Windows, iOS and
Android mobile devices. Additionally, Zoom can be used
with conventional phone lines for audio conferencing.
• Basic Zoom accounts provide access to an unlimited
number of 40 minute meetings. Each meeting can be
recorded and will be saved locally to your computer as an
.mp4 file.
• Free basic Zoom access is available to Albright
faculty, staff, and students.

4. My Meetings
• Schedule a Meeting allows you to schedule an unlimited
number of meetings that can last a maximum of 40 minutes.
After a meeting is scheduled, a “Copy the Invitation” link
appears. Use the text in the link in your email invite to
meeting participants. Feel free to customize the invitation
text, being careful not to change the meeting URL or the phone
numbers.
• Upcoming Meetings allows you to see any meetings you have
scheduled.
• Previous Meetings will list any meetings you previously
scheduled. Feel free to delete old meetings and reduce clutter
• My Recordings would show any meetings that are recorded
and stored in the cloud
