Did you know that having a Zoom account with your Denison email address is NOT the same as having a Denison Zoom account?
A quick analysis of Denison Zoom account-holders shows that only about one-third of currently enrolled Denison students have claimed their Denison Zoom license. A list provided by Zoom shows there are still many students that have Zoom Basic accounts with their Denison email address rather than a licensed account under the Denison Zoom agreement.
How will you benefit from a Denison Zoom account?
- With a Denison Zoom account you will not have the 40 minute time limit on Zoom meetings with three or more participants that is imposed for Zoom Basic accounts. You can host meetings with up to 300 participants.
- With a Denison Zoom account you can make other Denison Zoom account-holders alternative hosts for your meeting so they can start it if you aren’t there (and automatically become co-hosts if you are). This can be especially helpful for student organization meetings.
- You can record to the cloud and get automatic audio transcripts for your recording. (CAUTION: Make sure you have agreement from participants before recording meetings with others AND make sure to download your recording from the cloud within 2 weeks.)
