The video messaging service provides all university staff and students with Zoom and Microsoft Teams services for remote meetings and distance learning. The services can be used from the user's workstation, from the users' home computers, by phone, and in conference rooms and teamwork spaces. The features of Zoom and Teams for interaction between participants and more extensive webinars, for example, differ somewhat from each other.
With the University's Zoom licence, events can accommodate 300 participants, but larger rooms and a webinar licence can be booked through the Helpdesk booking website (https://helpdesk.it.helsinki.fi/en/instructions/collaboration-and-publication/video-conferencing/we…). Zoom is the recommended solution for general video communications and webinars.
Teams is recommended if you wish to use the other features of the Teams software at the same time.
