WVM-Zoom is the District-supported video conferencing platform, designed to enhance and streamline communication and collaboration within our educational community. WVM-Zoom allows for the easy facilitation of online meetings, courses, lectures, and presentations, making it a valuable tool for both instructional and administrative purposes. With WVM-Zoom, faculty can conduct live, interactive classes and host virtual office hours.
Instructional WVM-Zoom cloud video recordings will be retained on Zoom for 30 days. Afterwards, they will be deleted to preserve storage. Please note that instructional Zoom cloud recordings are automatically transferred to Panopto, the District's lecture capture tool and video content management system, for longer-term storage.
Staff can use Zoom to hold remote meetings, webinars, and training sessions.
