Zoom Basics & Navigation

This page covers guides and how-to's for navigating and accessing Zoom. You can use the link navigation to the left to quickly jump to a specific section. Use the bar at the top of this page to go to a different page topic.

Student Account

Zoom Basic

As a student, you are not required to have a Zoom account to join meetings hosted by others. However, you do need a Zoom Basic account to host meetings that others can join. Nazareth students are eligible to sign up for a Zoom Basic account, and you can activate it by following these instructions.

Zoom Basic allows for unlimited 1:1 meetings, with no cap on the duration of said meetings. However, meetings with 2+ attendees are limited to 40 minutes, after which the call will end. For more information on Zoom Basic, click here.

Zoom Pro

Upon request from the Director of Student Engagement & Leadership, Nazareth provides Zoom Pro accounts for student groups and/or leaders. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to use online conferencing, email, instant messaging, or phone for meetings and events as much as possible.

The differences between a Zoom Basic and a Zoom Pro account can be found here, however the most notable are an increase from 40 minutes to 30 hours in call duration, additional cloud storage, a calendar service, and so much more.

Accessing Zoom

Desktop Application

As mentioned in the previous section, all students at Nazareth are provided with the option of creating their own Zoom account through their MyNaz credentials. Refer to this guide to activate your account.

For the best performance and access to all of Zoom’s features, such as virtual backgrounds, breakout rooms, and screen sharing, it’s recommended that you use the Zoom Desktop Application. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can download it for free.

To get started, navigate to https://zoom.us/download and download the Zoom Client for Meetings; Alternatively, you can install the Zoom Workplace app directly from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 or 11.

Once the application is installed, open it and log in with your MyNaz credentials, or log in with Google. Once logged in, you can join classes, schedule meetings, and adjust settings directly from the desktop app.

Note: Zoom can also be access through your mobile device. The mobile app supports audio/video, screen sharing, chat, and most other core features. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, and log in with your MyNaz credentials.

Web-Based Access

If you’re using a shared computer or prefer not to install software, you can access Zoom through your browser. This version offers slightly fewer features than the desktop app but is great for quick access or one-time use. From the web portal, you can join meetings, schedule new ones, and review any past meetings or recordings.

Firstly, go to Nazareth's Zoom Site and select Login in the top right corner. Sign in with your MyNaz credentials, or by logging in with Google. From there, you can access your Zoom account directly from the web of any modern browser.

Recording w/ Zoom & FERPA

Policy

Regardless if a class is in person or virtual, all students must ask permission from their instructor to record remote sessions.

Depending on how the recordings are created or edited, they may constitute educational records that are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) -- the federal student privacy law. For more information about FERPA, please visit Nazareth's FERPA information page. For more information regarding Zoom and recording class sessions, click here.

Students seeking to record the class as an accommodation for a documented learning disability should contact Academic Success & Accessibility to discuss this accommodation.
