Broadcast: News items

To help simplify our digital approach, the University is moving to Microsoft Teams as our single platform for online meetings, communication and collaboration from Friday 4 September. 

From this date, Zoom will no longer be licensed for staff and students though they will still be able to join Zoom-hosted teaching sessions and external Zoom meetings as necessary. 

Note: Online teaching sessions are an exception, and these can continue to be hosted in Zoom for now. 

What does this mean for me? 

If you want to host an online meeting from Friday 4 September onwards, you’ll need to do it in Microsoft Teams. 

If you need to attend a Zoom session hosted by someone else, you will still be able to do this as normal.  

What do I need to do now? 

If you have already scheduled to host a Zoom meeting on or after 4 September, you’ll need to reschedule your session in Teams to make sure it can go ahead.  

Except those who deliver ODL, or other online teaching. Colleagues in this group are being identified and will retain their Zoom license for now.
