Video Conferencing - Zoom
To assist the UWinnipeg community transition to performing our activities remotely, we offer Zoom - a video conferencing service. This is a service that can be used in a variety of ways, from very basic video meetings to utilizing the many advanced features that Zoom provides.
Security and Privacy are very important to us. This security guide outlines how we have configured Zoom's security settings and additional steps you can take to enhance the security of your Zoom sessions.
