Zoom at U-M (U-M Zoom) unifies cloud videoconferencing, simple online meetings, and in-meeting chat messaging. It offers high-quality video, audio, and wireless screen-sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, iOS, Android, Zoom Rooms, and H.323/SIP room systems.
U-M Zoom accounts are available to all active faculty, staff, and students on the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses and Michigan Medicine. Alumni, retirees, and non-UM participants can attend Zoom meetings without a university account but cannot host or initiate U-M Zoom meetings. Additionally, MCommunity groups and Shared Accounts are not eligible for U-M Zoom. (Sharing a Zoom account with multiple people is a violation of Zoom's terms of service, as well as a violation of U-M's agreement with Zoom.) (For more information on what happens to your U-M Zoom account when you leave the university, refer to Zoom: Accounts for People Who Leave U-M.)
Sensitive Data with Zoom
U-M Zoom can be used for certain kinds of sensitive data (including Protected Health Information (PHI)), as detailed in the Sensitive Data Guide. You and the university community have a shared responsibility to use Zoom appropriately with sensitive university data and take the necessary precautions.
