ITS has received several inquiries about the use of WCM Zoom accounts by the WCM community for personal events during the upcoming holidays.
As a rule, use of university electronic resources for non-business functions is discouraged. To help keep our workforce safe and healthy, and in light of recent CDC recommendations, we are amending our guidance for Zoom usage as follows:
- WCM faculty, staff, and students looking to host a personal holiday event without an active WCM Zoom account should create a free Zoom account. Zoom has announced that the usual meeting limits on free accounts will not apply during Thanksgiving.
- Those who already have an active Zoom account from WCM should feel free to use it for their personal holiday events (within the existing limits of the service).
- Unsure if you have a WCM Zoom account? You can log into Zoom with your WCM credentials to check (and create an account if licenses are available).
