Zoom
As of summer 2023, Google Meet is the official video conferencing app for teachers and students at D-E. Zoom is no longer licensed or supported for that purpose.
Zoom is an online meeting service available to all DE teaching and non-teaching staff to hold online classes and meetings. These installation directions are for the software required to create OR join an online class. This is relevant for both students and teachers.
AFTER installing the Zoom software and activating your d-e.org Zoom account (described below), teachers should go to Zoom for teachers for more information about creating and managing a class after you install the software.
Zoom computer and Internet service bandwidth requirements are here.
Get Started by activating your account, installing the software, and logging in
If you have never hosted a meeting on Zoom before and would prefer more formal instruction before jumping in and trying, you might want to attend or watch a recording of the Getting Started with Zoom Meetings training offered by Zoom. (This takes about 30 minutes.)
Activate your account
Follow the directions in the email you received from Zoom with the subject "Zoom account invitation"
Log in using Google with your @d-e.org address.
Install the Zoom Client for Meetings software

Open the Zoom app and Log In
