Zoom GigabITe

All Texas A&M students now have a free Zoom Pro account powered by the Office for Academic Innovation. Love group projects, but stressed with the thought of corralling your team to the same place, at the same time, to all work on the same thing?

Enter: Zoom!

Zoom makes collaboration easier and more convenient with high-quality videoconferencing and meeting services.

What is Zoom?
Zoom is a platform for audio and video conferencing, chat and webinars! It can be used on smartphones, desktops, laptops and tablets. The platform is designed for:
Hosting online video meetings
Teaching online courses
Conducting online training
Video demonstrations

Though there are many video conferencing options, Zoom is perfect for group collaboration!
Share your screen virtually! In a one-on-one video chat or large group conference, you can show others what is happening on your screen (including mobile devices).
Collaborate on documents using the co-annotation feature. Zoom's drag-and-drop capabilities allow users to share documents, photos and video clips while allowing others to annotate by adding notes or comments on documents.

Get immediate (and organized) feedback during meetings with Zoom's polling feature. Zoom also has an easy-to-use chat feature.

Zoom's high audio and video quality will give you and your group a productive and enjoyable experience. Zoom is available on all systems (iOS, Android) and all devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop).
