Zoom and Webex
Zoom and Webex are cloud-based web conferencing services that allow users to meet online and share content. Join a meeting from a PC, Mac, desktop, laptop or mobile device -- wherever you have an internet connection.
Zoom is the default platform for ODUGlobal online courses. Meetings are automatically created, recorded, and published to their respective courses in the Course Collaboration Tool. ODUGlobal also provides Webex meeting services should the platform be preferred over Zoom.
All ODU faculty, staff and students have access to Zoom Pro Licenses.
