Zoom experienced a significant worldwide outage August 24. [U]Tech understands the disruption that this caused, especially to faculty and students on the first day of classes.
Zoom is the recommended primary video conferencing platform at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ because it provides a combination of robust features and ease of use. However, should Zoom become unavailable again in the future, Google Meet is the recommended alternative application.
Google Meet, part of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s G Suite offering, is extremely easy to use. [U]Tech has published a quick start guide, including recommendations on how to prepare for a quick switch to Google Meet in case of a Zoom outage. Google Meet has many of the same features as Zoom, but not all. Review the complete feature comparison chart for details. With a little preparation, it will take a few minutes to implement a videoconferencing backup plan.
