What do I need to use Zoom?
Zoom can be used on both PC, Mac, tablet and mobile phone, with a camera, with either a microphone headset or a microphone and built-in speakers.
A microphone headset usually provide better audio experience.
Oral exam in Zoom
If the exam takes place over several days, we recommend that one Zoom meeting be set up per day, and that you invite all the students who will be graduating that day. Remember to check/select waiting room under Advanced settings. Then one student at a time can be let into the room manually at your control. The meeting invitation can be made from Outlook, with the Zoom Plugin, or in the Zoom client (remember to select Outlook as calendar). You can also create the meeing invitation from Canvas, but then you invite all the students to each meeting. This is helpful if you have many students in your course.
Where can I get help with Zoom?
If you have technical problems, you can contact IT Support (IT-vakt).
For academic support, contact PULS (Læringsstøttesenteret).
