Zoom
Zoom is an online communication and collaboration tool accessible by the internet (computers, tablets, smartphones) and telephone that provides unlimited video-conferencing, web-conferencing, and audio-conferencing (both VOIP and telephone), all with a highly intuitive and easy to use user-interface. Each conference session can have one or more hosts and participants. Zoom is free to UCLA Health staff with valid Mednet AD credentials. Zoom is HIPAA-compliant; it signs the HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for healthcare customers and keeps sensitive information secure by encrypting all audio, video, and screen sharing data. Zoom has a variety of resources such as the Zoom Workplace desktop client; the Zoom Clips feature to record, edit, and share short form videos; Zoom Notes, which allows the user to take notes during a meeting in real-time; and the newly approved for use at UCLA Zoom AI Companion, which can generate meeting summaries. Zoom at UCLA is managed by UCLA DGIT, who support investigators in successful web conferencing and troubleshooting.
