eSolutions update - Zoom

We have recently had an increase in queries regarding Audio and Video conferencing and recording options available, and you may be interested to know about one of our most popular conferencing offerings, Zoom.

If you were not already aware, all staff can use Zoom to communicate and collaborate with multiple parties, both internal and external to Monash. This can be done from the office, home or remotely. Zoom offers good video, audio and screen-sharing quality across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, high-end conferencing room systems and telephone.

All Monash staff can log in with their Monash email address and password. This now provides full access to Zoom functions and the hosting of meetings of any duration. Login to Zoom.

There are some staggering facts and figures that go with the ease of use and functionality of Zoom. For the month of September alone we had a total of 4557 meetings created with a total of 17025 participants. This is a 5 fold increase in meetings and participants over a 24 month period!
