Zoom Introduction

Zoom, a teleconferencing application has become the new way for people to connect while social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. Zoom is compatible with Windows/MAC computers, Android and iOS devices.

If someone invites you to their meeting, you can join as a participant without creating an account. However, without a Zoom Account, you do not have some of the important meeting functions and controls.

A free Zoom account is required if you want to create your own meetings, host instant meetings, and send invitations to participants.
