Zoom

Zoom can be used to conduct synchronous online classes and one-to-one sessions, as well as to record presentations or demonstrations that use your computer. All types of sessions can be recorded, stored in the Zoom website, and shared using a link.  

Automatic transcripts can be generated, so that subtitles are available to ensure accessibility. The transcripts can also be edited for accuracy. 

The University of Glasgow has an institutional account with Zoom, and you can also use a Moodle plugin to share Zoom links directly in your Moodle course. 

You can log into Zoom both on the University of Glasgow website, on the Zoom website (login via Single Sign On (SSO) with your UoG credentials).
