Zoom is browser-based and can be used on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices with a maximum of 300 participants at one time. Sessions can be recorded for later review, with the video recording made to the tutor to share on Moodle.
Technical requirements
At a minimum it is recommended that Participants have the following hardware and software available:
- An internet-connected desktop or laptop computer or tablet/smartphone;
- An up-to-date web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari; see Zoom's system requirements including Browsers);
- Headphones and a microphone. A headset is preferable to an internal laptop microphone but remains optional;
- A camera (optional).
Find a suitable location
Think about where you will participate in the session. A good quality audio input device will mitigate some background noise, but try to find a reasonably quiet location with a wired internet or strong WiFi connection where you will not be interrupted.
Try it out
A permanent test Zoom session is available in which you can test your hardware and software setup and experiment with the platform.
