Zoom

Zoom is used for video conferences though we generally recommend using Teams. The University of Iceland has Zoom licenses that staff members can get access to.

• You can use Zoom without a license for 40 minutes or less for 100 people.
• Teachers at the university can get a Zoom licence through the IT Service Portal. The licence removes the limit on how long the conference can be and allows for up to 300 people to join. Users also get the option to save the recording to the Zoom cloud for up to 500 MB or save it to the device.
• Teachers and students can find instructions for Zoom through Canvas.
• You can download your recordings through the Zoom web interface. Click on the three dots and select "Download".
