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.
Zoom License types:
Carleton Faculty and Staff Licenses are provided to currently employed faculty and staff members after the employee signs in through Carleton.zoom.us, clicks SIGN IN, and follows the prompts using his/her “username@carleton.edu” email address. Licenses allow for hours-long Zoom meetings with up to 500 participants.
Carleton Student Licenses are provided to currently enrolled students after the student logs in through Carleton.zoom.us, clicks SIGN IN, and follows the prompts using his/her “username@carleton.edu” email address.

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.
