What is Zoom?

Zoom is a cloud-based platform that enables seamless online meetings, content sharing, and video conferencing. Most participants, such as students and guests, do not need a Zoom account to join a meeting; only the host requires an account to schedule and manage meetings or classes.

When a host creates a Zoom meeting, a unique meeting ID and hyperlink are generated. These details are specific to each meeting. Depending on the host's settings, you may also be prompted to sign into your Lakehead University account.

You can also download the Zoom desktop application.
