Using Zoom

At St. Edward's, Zoom is a supported collaboration tool facilitating videoconferencing, online meetings and group messaging. Zoom has an integrated set of features compared to other videoconferencing options.

All St. Edward's students, faculty and staff can access their Zoom Pro account by logging in to Zoom with their university credentials. Faculty and students should sign in to Zoom through myhilltop to authenticate before joining a Zoom class meeting through Canvas from their Canvas course.

If you need to set up a Zoom webinar rather than using Zoom Pro for meetings or classes, check out Zoom Webinar Setup and Best Practices.
