What is Zoom?

Zoom is one of UCL's web conferencing or online classroom platforms. It is provides a range of different functions in a live, or synchronous, learning environment. These features include:

  • Audio and video conferencing;
  • Presentation and whiteboard facilities;
  • Application sharing;
  • Text chat for student discussion and questions;
  • Tools for hand-raising and reactions;
  • Polling;
  • Breakout rooms for small group activities.

Zoom can be used for a variety of teaching and learning activities, including seminars and interactive group study, Q&A discussions, guest lectures, and tutorials.

It can also act as an informal course meeting space and be used with participants from outside of UCL. 

(warning) The maximum number of participants for a given session (including moderators and presenters) is 300.

 UCL has a site-wide licence for Zoom that you can access via your UCL account. To sign up, go to  XXX
