What kind of technology do I need to use Zoom?

Zoom will work on most any internet enabled device including Macintosh, Windows and Chromebook computers, iOS phones and tablets, Android devices, and even just a basic phone if you only need an audio connection. Most of these devices will already have sufficient built in microphones and cameras. However if you use a desktop computer you may need to supplement your set up with at least microphone. USB headsets work great, or better yet a simple USB web cam will provide both video and audio. Full details on minimum requirements can be found on Zoom's support pages.

Note: If you want to record a lecture without a student audience, please use VidGrid for best results.
