Free Zoom Call: A Game-Changer for Virtual Lectures and Meetings

In today's digital age, webinars have become an essential tool for hosting virtual lectures and meetings. However, not all platforms are created equal. That's where Zoom comes in – a powerful platform that allows you to host interactive sessions with ease.

One of the key advantages of using Zoom is its ability to facilitate audience participation. Whether you're hosting a lecture or a meeting, Zoom's features make it easy for attendees to engage with each other and with the presenter. With Zoom, you can break your session into smaller groups, making it easier to have in-depth discussions and debates.

But how do you get started with Zoom? For UAB students and faculty, accessing Zoom is simple. You can sign in to your UAB Zoom account using the Zoom app on your mobile or desktop device by choosing 'Sign in with SSO', typing in UAB as the domain, and providing your BlazerID and Password.

Alternatively, you can access your UAB Zoom account directly from a web browser. For more information on how to use Zoom, be sure to check out the Zoom for Teachers Guide.

When scheduling meetings, it's important to note that only students enrolled in a specific course should be invited. Instructors can access Zoom within their Canvas courses by clicking the Zoom tab in the course navigation.

It's also worth noting that provisioned pro accounts will be returned to basic at the end of each academic year (July 31st). Students requesting a licensed pro account will need to provide contact information for their supervisor so that their reason for needing a pro account can be confirmed.

Finally, if you need to meet with participants for longer than 40 minutes, you can fill out the UA system account request form. However, please note that meetings are limited to 40 minutes when three or more participants join.

In conclusion, Zoom is an excellent platform for hosting virtual lectures and meetings. With its interactive features and ease of use, it's no wonder why it's become a favorite among educators and students alike. So next time you need to host a meeting or lecture, consider using Zoom – your attendees will thank you!
