Desktop video conferencing does not require meeting rooms with monitors and video cameras. It allows users to host or join a meeting from their desktop or mobile device. Simple click-to-connect convenience quickly brings participants into a meeting on a computer, tablet or smartphone. A reliable network bandwidth, a computer equipped with a webcam, microphone, headphones (if in a public area), and a videoconference plug-in/software is all that is needed.

Our office schedules videoconferences for users who do not have their own Zoom license and would like to use the service to conduct meetings. We are able to schedule one time or short-term recurring conferences and/or classes. However using our service means that you will not have a license assigned to you and instead will be connecting to a session scheduled on your behalf.
