KU offers two options for web/video conferencing:

• Microsoft Teams is best for online meetings with department work teams and KU colleagues.
• Zoom is best for conference room video conferencing and online meetings with external partners. Zoom connects with conference rooms systems (e.g., Polycom) in addition to personal computers and mobile devices.

Microsoft Teams

A collaboration and communication platform for groups, teams, departments and organizations, Microsoft Teams functionality includes video calls and video meetings. KU faculty, staff and students can quickly and easily create Teams video meetings and invite participants using Outlook.

Zoom

Zoom combines video conferencing, online meetings and in-conference group messaging into one easy-to-use tool that is ideal for KU conference rooms and online meetings with external partners.
