Zoom Video Conferencing Training/Info Session 1

Video conferencing is increasingly becoming an essential service for OIST, where rich communication and collaboration are important to our success. That’s why we have revamped our video conferencing services, making it easier for you to use the technology and integrate it into your daily work.

We are announcing a new video conferencing service, Zoom, which is available to faculty, students, and staff. It replaces WebEx, which will no longer be offered after July 1.

We encourage you to give this new tool a try. We’re confident you’re going to like it. 

Instructions for performing most common Zoom tasks, are available on the Zoom video conferencing groups page.

We will hold 2 info/training sessions with basics on how to use this new video conferencing environment:

Sincerely,

AV Services
