Zoom is a software package that enables video conferences - so-called meetings - to be held with up to 300 participants. In addition to private and public chat functions and the transmission of video and audio sources, Zoom offers the possibility of screen sharing, polls and virtual group rooms. This allows you to implement digital teaching and other online meetings (committees, working groups, etc.). All members of the University of Leipzig can log in with their Uni-Login, set up a video conference or take part in one as part of fulfilling the University's statutory duties.
