GREAT NEWS: Changes coming in 2021 to Zoom for Health

12/21/2020

U-M Zoom has been approved for PHI (HIPAA data). As a result, Zoom for Health at U-M will be consolidated into regular U-M Zoom on January 2 and 3, 2021.

Thanks to collaborative efforts of U-M and Zoom, you now will be able to use expanded features, such as:

  • Cloud recording
  • Live transcription
  • Viewing identifying information in reports
  • Ability to assign scheduling privileges and alternative host privileges to anyone at U-M
  • One Zoom integration in Canvas

Action Required

January 3 or Later If You Use the Canvas-Zoom Integration

  1. Enable the Zoom integration for your course(s)
  2. If you set up Zoom course meetings in the Zoom Health integration in Canvas prior to January 2, you will need to import each meeting ID into the newly enabled Zoom integration in your course. To avoid having to take this step, wait until January 3 or later and then create them in the Zoom integration after you enable it.

Temporarily Offline

11 p.m. January 2 at thru 6 a.m. January 3

Zoom for Health users’ accounts will be migrated into regular U-M Zoom beginning at 11 p.m. January 2 and continuing until 6 a.m. January 3. Your Zoom account will not be available during this time. 

After the migration is completed, Zoom for Health will no longer exist and all U-M Zoom users will be in the same account.

Upcoming and Previous Meetings & Webinars

  • Your upcoming and previous meetings and webinars and your personal meeting ID and link will not be impacted. They will migrate with your account.
  • People (including alternative hosts) will still be able to join future-scheduled meetings using the URL you have already provided--no need to resend.

Download Reports Before January 2

  • Download any meeting or webinar reports (attendance reports, poll reports, registration reports, etc) that you wish to retain. 
  • Reports for meetings and webinars that occurred prior to the migration will be unavailable once your account is migrated into regular U-M Zoom.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How will I log in to Zoom after the migration?
    The way you log in to Zoom will not change. You will still log in using your Level-1 credentials. For more information on logging in to Zoom, refer to Create and Log In to Your U-M Zoom Account.
  • Will I be permitted to use U-M Zoom for meetings or webinars involving PHI?
    Yes
  • Will I be permitted to record meetings or webinars involving PHI to the cloud and share those cloud recordings with other people?
    Yes
  • Will I be permitted to use automated live transcription for meetings or webinars involving PHI?
    Yes
  • Will I be able to pull reports on attendance, polls, etc that show individual users’ names and emails?
    Yes, through either the Zoom web app or Canvas/Blackboard
  • What will happen to my Webinar and other licenses?
    Your licenses will move with your account. You will not need to re-request a license.
  • What will happen to my scheduling privileges for other users?
    Your scheduling privileges will not be impacted. You will still be able to schedule for the same users. After the migration, you will be able to assign scheduling privileges to any members of U-M Zoom, and vice versa, if desired.
  • What will happen to reports for my previous meetings or webinars?
    Reports will not move with your account. Download any meeting or webinar reports (attendance reports, poll reports, registration reports, etc) that you wish to retain. 
  • What will happen to my virtual backgrounds and profile picture?
    Your virtual backgrounds and profile picture will move with your account. You will not need to re-upload them.
  • I already added Zoom Health to my Canvas course. Why do I have to enable Zoom after January 3?
    Zoom Health is tied to the Zoom for Health account, which will cease to exist after Zoom for Health users are migrated into U-M Zoom. The Zoom integration is tied to U-M Zoom, and this is the integration you will need to use after the migration. If you attempt to use the Zoom integration prior to the migration, you will see an error.
  • Why do I have to import Zoom meetings to my Canvas course after January 3?
    The Zoom meetings you created are attached to the Zoom Health integration, which will cease to exist with the migration to U-M Zoom. While your meetings scheduled through the integration will be migrated and will not be lost, they will need to be attached to the Zoom integration in order to be associated with your course. Importing them is the method to attach them to the Zoom integration and allow them to show in your course.
  • Will this change impact how I use Zoom through MiChart (i.e. Zoom for Epic)?
    No. This change does not apply to using Zoom through MiChart (Zoom for Epic). Nothing will change with how you use Zoom through MiChart.
