09.02.2024 - 12:11

Did you know that by logging in to the University Zoom with your University username, you can access all the functions of the University Zoom? Logging in to the University Zoom is also worthwhile due to the security features for larger meetings.

The University’s Zoom service functions:

  • The duration of a meeting is up to 30 hours.
  • Cloud storage developed by the service provider.
  • Zoom’s traffic on the service provider's servers in the Nordic countries.
  • You can be added to the meeting as an Alternative host

Extra security for your meetings 

To help keep your meetings secure, Zoom has three different security features, at least one of which must be selected when creating a meeting. By default, the Passcode is enabled, but you can also choose between Waiting Room or Authentication, i.e. mandatory login to Zoom. You can also choose all the security features.

Especially in larger team or workgroup meetings, it is a good idea to choose mandatory login in addition to the passcode, so that the participants of the meetings can be identified.

Read the IT Helpdesk instructions for using the University's Zoom service and taking advantage of all the functions.
