At the top, the video feed of the participants will be visible. At the bottom of this window, you’ll be able to find different meeting controls. On starting or joining a meeting, a new window pops up on the screen. There’s a ‘Meetings’ tab, where you can find all the scheduled meetings. Everything is displayed in large-sized icons, so you can easily access the options with the click of a button. When you launch the app, the ‘ Home’ tab gives you various options, including Join a Meeting, New Meeting, Schedule, Share Screen, etc. What about the interface?Ĭompared to other popular video conferencing programs, Zoom is easier to set up.

Paying members can even record videos of meetings and conferences for easy offline access. Moreover, the communication tool lets you download textual transcripts of calls. It lets you set up video calls and meetings in HD quality. Files cannot be downloaded unless the meeting host grants users the ability to do so.While the app comes with a wide range of features, Zoom Meetings has been the primary focus of the company.

The viewing of these files is limited to those who are members of York’s account and who have received a meeting link from the meeting host. These servers are external to the York network. This feature will allow meeting hosts to opt for recording their meetings and having them automatically uploaded onto the Zoom cloud servers. Participants are audibly alerted to active recording in meetings, and visually by the red record icon in the top left of the Zoom window.Ĭloud Recording is now also available to Faculty and Staff. Meeting hosts are able to record locally to their personal device, and can grant other meeting participants the ability to record in meeting, though this feature is not available by default. If you choose to add a profile picture, or any other information manually to your profile, that information would also be stored. Your Passport York credentials are never shared with the service. The Zoom York U service does not by default store any personal information beyond name, email address (which serves as the user account) and department name.

Users are able to log into this service securely with their Passport York credentials. Zoom Privacy and Security Guidance – Information Security at York (link)
