What is Zoom? Zoom is a video-conferencing platform for which Marist College owns a license. Zoom allows you to engage in live Web conversations with your colleagues, students, and faculty using audio, video, and text-based chat features. It's also available for use from your iLearn course site. Using your Marist account and password will allow you to generate a link that you can share with participants who can then follow the web link to join in on a live conversation.

As a video-conferencing tool, Zoom can be used:

• To visit the web-based application from the Marist Zoom website and set up your account or create future meeting links.

• For conferences and conversations with people both on and off campus

• To Integrate Zoom into your iLearn site. If you use iLearn, you can follow Digital Education team’s instructions for creating a direct link for Zoom that directly integrates into your iLearn course site. 

• To present projects and information
