Zoom is provided free of charge for current faculty, staff, students, and affiliates at all Cornell campuses. To get started, activate your Cornell Zoom account. You can join meetings by using your web browser or with the Zoom software (how to install). Attendees of Zoom meetings do not need to be affiliated with Cornell.
Meetings vs. Webinars
A meeting is a Zoom event where one person is the host and all other participants generally have equal footing. The host can share hosting responsibilities with other participants. Any participant can share their screen, subject to the host's security settings. A webinar, on the other hand, is a more controlled environment, where hosts, co-hosts, and panelists share audio, video, or screen with participants whose interaction is limited to features like polling and Q&A.
