Video Conferencing with Zoom and Google Meet
Video conferencing is an excellent communication method for those just across campus or all the way around the world. The most typical use is for a group meeting, faculty presentation, job interview, distance learning, or research collaboration. Although there are many different types of video conferencing solutions on the market today, Carleton Supports and PEPS can assist you with the following programs: Zoom and Google Meet. To get started with either, checkout the short tutorial videos below. Learn more about the default settings for Zoom and Meet.
Zoom License types:
Carleton’s faculty and staff receive a “Pro” Zoom License when logging in through Carleton.zoom.us and clicking SIGN IN. Follow the prompts using your “username@carleton.edu” email address. (For full instructions visit the wiki page Zoom Pro License Sign-Up Guide.)
Carleton students receive a “BASIC” Carleton Zoom license by default when they sign into Carleton.zoom.us. This allows for meetings of up to 300 people, but each meeting is limited to 40 minutes long. “Basic” users can be added as a co-host during a meeting, but cannot be added as an “Alternative” host prior to a meeting. If students need to host a Zoom meeting longer than 40 minutes or need to be an Alternative Host, they will need a “Licensed” Zoom account, which they can request by completing this form. (Be sure to include your name and email address.)
Note: For users who require a Large Group Meeting License (up to 1,000 participants), please submit an event support ticket.
Zoom Apps:
In 2022, Zoom unveiled “Apps,” a feature that allows users to discover a wide variety of third party plugins that integrate with Zoom. ITS will evaluate Zoom Apps using the same process it uses to evaluate other software requests. If you’d like a Zoom App approved, please complete the Software Request form.
