Notes When Using Zoom

When joining Zoom meetings on campus, please be mindful of your surroundings.

In particular, if you are in the same space and participating in the same Zoom meeting, it is essential to “wear a noise-canceling headset” and “keep your microphone to the absolute minimum, turning it ON/OFF frequently.”

The ICT Office does not lend out headsets. Please bring your own.
