Introduction

Zoom is an online video and web conferencing platform where you can meet virtually with others using video, audio or both. Zoom meetings can also be recorded and stored to view later. You may already have used Zoom to meet with friends or family, but Zoom can also be used as a powerful tool for online learning and collaboration. 

This section explores how Zoom is used within the University of Greater Manchester (UGM) and how to access your UGM Zoom account and session recordings.
