Requirements[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Zoom licenses[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

The campus license Zoom, which is purchased by the University, differs from free-to-use zoom licenses:

  • The free licenses are personal licenses and can only be used for personal use. The usage time is limited to 40 minutes per session.
  • The university campus license allows a distributed management of the event, i. e. you can plan the meeting for yourself and others in advance, send the link in advance and plan regular events (i. e. create the meeting only once and use the same link / the same meeting ID over and over again). However, you must also start the meeting via your university license at the beginning of each meeting.

Notes on use[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

  • For teaching, it applies that preferably asynchronous teaching scenarios should be carried out. Video conferencing in teaching should remain the exception and be didactically justified.

Terms of use and privacy policy[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Further information on this can be found in the following article:

Notes on Netiquette[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Audio and video conferences bring new possibilities compared to a face-to-face meeting, but also new challenges. We have compiled a list of suggestions and behavioural recommendations that you can go through in preparation for an audio or video conference.
