About Zoom

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! This video calling app has been all over the news.
Zoom allows you to send and receive Zoom messages, audio calls, and video calls to/from other Zoom users. Additionally, you can join someone else’s Zoom meeting without needing your own Zoom account.*
A basic Zoom license is free and has the following features:

  • Chat (text messaging)
  • Unlimited one-on-one voice & video calls
  • Group voice & video calls for up to 100 people for 40 minutes for free
*Certain privacy and security settings require users to have a Zoom account in order to join a Zoom meeting.
