If you are having an event that is open to the public, it should be set up as a webinar. However, this is not the case with webinars. This prevents anyone without a U of I account from joining a meeting. Secondly, U of I security requires authentication on Zoom meetings. Firstly, the webinar format keeps the event safe from unwarted or malicious interactions. Webinars should also be used in the case of public events. Webinars are suggested for any large format events where managing participants will be too unwieldy to handle during the event. This cuts down on disruptions and allows events to proceed more smoothly. Webinars allow viewing and participation from a large audience without everyone having a camera and microphone active in the meeting. This requires participants to register in advance for the event and allows you to keep track of the number of participants to expect. You can also set up pre-registration for Zoom webinar. Zoom webinars have a Q&A feature that will allow attendees to submit questions that will be viewable only by the hosts and panelists. When connecting to a webinar, only the panelists will be seen and heard in the meeting. In a webinar, certain users are listed as Panelists while others are listed as Attendees. In these cases, it may be more beneficial to create a webinar.

Rooms 106 and 107 at the Menard Law Building in Moscow, and rooms 124 and 307 at the Idaho Law and Justice Learning Center in Boise do not have built in video conferencing systems. However, there are some rooms with more limited setups, and Zoom is needed in order to connect the room to a meeting.

This means that while you can schedule as many Zoom meetings as you would like, you can only be connected to one of those meetings at a time. Be aware however that you can only host one Zoom meeting at a time per Zoom account. This means that anyone associated with the University of Idaho can host their own Zoom meetings whenever they need.

Zoom meetings can be scheduled through the web, Zoom desktop client or directly from Outlook using the Outlook plugin. Therefore, it is important to understand how to use Zoom for when it is required for a class, event or meeting. At the College of Law, we use video conferencing quite extensively to interact between our two locations. Zoom is versatile and can accommodate multiple participants across multiple platforms. All participants do not need to connect using the same method. Participants can connect to a Zoom meeting from their computer, phone or even a classroom codec system. It allows for two-way real-time video conferencing between two or more locations via a virtual meeting room. Zoom is the University of Idaho's video conferencing platform.
