Video conferencing provides the power to hop on a call and collaborate with colleagues in real-time within seconds. UIW Academic Technology installs, designs and supports video conferencing systems throughout the university's class and meeting rooms.
UIW faculty, staff, and students will inevitably use video conferencing at some stage in their journey at UIW. While you may come across different options when meeting with external colleagues, UIW IT supplies, endorses, and officially supports both Zoom and Microsoft Teams as video conferencing tools.
Zoom video conferencing is available at no cost to all actively affiliated faculty and staff, and students who are actively enrolled in classes at UIW! If you are a part of the School of Osteopathic Medicine, your Zoom license details might differ... contact a Software Specialist for specific limitations, inquiries, or concerns.
