If you will be using Zoom with 300 or more students, please also note the class size to enable support for more participants. Contact your helpdesk to request an account.Request a UBC Zoom account and install Zoom In storing student Zoom aliases and Zoom lecture recordings, you must also take appropriate precautions to keep this content confidential and secure. But should you encounter a situation that highlights a possible need for student Zoom accounts, you can either a) ask your faculty or department if UBC Zoom student accounts can be created or b) allow your students to create free Zoom accounts using a nickname and a non-identifying email address. This restriction on free Zoom accounts should not affect teaching and learning, since students do not need accounts to attend Zoom sessions. Therefore, faculty and staff should not use free Zoom accounts for UBC purposes or require students to create free Zoom accounts for UBC courses. However, this assessment did not include the free version of Zoom. UBC has conducted a privacy assessment of the UBC version of Zoom to confirm that it does meet the security and legal requirements for a teaching and learning tool. Only UBC Zoom accounts should be used for UBC purposes.
