LibGuides: For Faculty: COVID-19 Instructional Continuity in Spring 2020: Academic Technologies

Zoom

Zoom
Guilford now has an institutional license to Zoom, which means that all Guilford community members now have access to it. Log in to Zoom using your Guilford Gmail address and email password. Upon login, faculty and staff are equipped with Pro accounts that allow instructors to create breakout rooms, record sessions to the cloud (with transcription provided by Zoom), share whiteboards, poll students, and more. We have also set up a Zoom Canvas integration.

See more information about Zoom, including instructions for getting logged in to your institutional account and setting up meetings, at the library's guide to Zoom.
