Zoom
The rise of Zoom at USQ
How to access help!
In the interest of offering USQ staff flexible video
conferencing options and simple on-line meeting
solutions, Zoom meeting technology is available
to all staff when existing video conferencing
options are not able to be used. Zoom has been
trialled and endorsed for use by USQ staff as
both an on-line meeting tool for non-academic
purposes and certain learning and teaching
applications.
Instructional information for getting started with
Zoom is available now via AskUSQ for Staff, or the
Zoom website.
Future Options
While Zoom Webinar has been used with great
success here at USQ, other Zoom functions such
as Zoom Breakouts have not yet been trialled or
tested for use at USQ for teaching and learning
purposes. Over the coming months, we will
be testing this and a number of other available
Zoom functions and will advise staff once these
functions are fully supported. Until this time,
ICT will make best efforts to provide technical
support to staff who have already planned
Semester 1 course use of Zoom!
Information on technical support for video
conferencing options and future plans around
unified communications at USQ should be
directed to Troy Downs.

communication options, uses and support
arrangements for academic purposes contact
