Zoom 

Zoom is a web video conferencing solution. Learn how to log in, host online meetings, and more on the Zoom service page. Review the Securing Zoom Meetings support article for creating a secure Zoom session and the steps you can take to reduce the possibility of unwelcome guests joining your meeting.  

  • Note: Do not use Zoom through a remote computer (e.g., Remote Desktop) as you may experience audio/video issues.  

Microsoft Teams 

Microsoft Teams is your online Office 365 hub for teamwork, online meetings, or chat. It is an app that helps you and your team have real-time conversations using chat or video chat, securely share and collaborate on files, and plan meetings or projects with others at the University of Iowa or with guest collaborators.
