Body
Zoom Workplace is a secure video conferencing platform supporting virtual meetings, screen sharing, and collaboration from different devices.
UFV employees have access to licensed Zoom accounts, allowing them to host meetings for classes, team collaboration, or events.
Participants, including students, do not need a Zoom account or license to join a meeting - they can simply click the meeting link to join.
Zoom is pre-installed on UFV-issued computers.
Below are instructions for also downloading and installing Zoom on your personal desktop or mobile device.
Note: A UFV Zoom account will only let you sign in on one account only. If you are logged into Zoom in a browser, your login to the Zoom application will fail and vice-versa.
